Prepare the hands-on activity
Identify the two perpendicular tracks and their sliders.
REFERENCE VIEWS · IMAGE SEQUENCE 15 sec
Elliptical Trammel Exhibit — design views
Design-image sequence
Inspect the reference images.
Compare Elliptical Trammel Exhibit in five labelled still views. Move a linked handle while two sliders follow perpendicular tracks and guide a point around an ellipse.

Look at the action.
Understand the reference.
Design views of Elliptical Trammel Exhibit. These still images show the reference layout; they do not record the activity in operation.
Plan the comparison
Follow the two sliders separately, then trace the path of the selected point on their connecting link.
Question to explore
How can sliders moving on straight tracks guide a curved path? Identify two perpendicular straight-motion constraints.
This film sequences existing reference images. It is not continuous operating footage or a moving 3D simulation; final function and configuration follow the agreed project.
