Look at the action.
Understand the reference.
Design views of Saddle Surface Model. These still images show the reference layout; they do not record the activity in operation.
Plan the comparison
Look along one string direction and then the other, before comparing the rising and falling profiles.
Question to explore
How can a saddle shape contain straight lines? Locate the two straight-line families of the model.
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.
