title: Columbia Wave Machine
aka: Model of wave motion: longitudinal, transverse, and water.

Description:
  A mechanical model of wave motion, a crank on the back (turn counter-clockwise) shows the motion of particles that make up the wave.  Black boards, stacked on the top, can be hung so to hide the other waves and isolate one of the waves.

Question:
    Which of the waves requires a vetical connection between the particles?
