About
Four splayed legs on painted foot plates carry a bearing block at 3.1 m with a knife edge barrel. The 2.4 m rod hangs to a 0.72 m lens shaped bob with an amber rim band, swinging over a five mark amber scale bar at 0.4 m. Overall size 2.34 x 3.32 x 1.44 m in metres, +Y up, +Z forward, resting on y=0. Node pendulum pivots on the knife edge at y=3.1, parallel to X. Clips: idle swings the pendulum 26 degrees each way over 3.6 s. Node TRS animation on named nodes only; no skinned rig, skeleton, collision or navigation data.
