Assembling A Transverse Wave Model
1. Seat the single closed winding of a heavy spring inside a cleat feature
of an assembled atom model. Be certain to attach springs along the
seam of the atom to prevent splitting (fission) from occuring.
2. Create desired length transverse wave model by alternately
assembling atom models and springs onto tube as shown in
Figure 5.
