Look at the action.
Understand the reference.
Handwheel rotation drives cord paths that raise butterfly markers. Compare the three channels, the direction of movement and the reset sequence; the activity demonstrates rotary input and linear travel rather than flapping wings.
Turn and follow the marker
Turn that handwheel as directed and watch the marker travel along the vertical cord.
Compare input and travel
Compare the turning direction at the handwheel with the marker’s linear travel, then follow the labelled reset sequence.
This guide describes the visible action. The final performance and operating specification are agreed for the project.
