was a big help here; I strongly advise anybody creating a complex graphic to solicit comments. The biggest change here is dropping the final rectangle; now π appears in the same frame that the wheel completes its revolution and when the wheel is out of frame, the show's over. A more subtle change is

A few comments were made on V.3. I thought I'd addressed all concerns raised with the notable exception of the request for a distinguished spoke. I did flip over the wheel so that it begins with one spoke touching the baseline. The rectangle does

I didn't want to do this one at all; I'd moved on. But V.4 picked up a (highly optimistic, IMO) FP nom; I felt an obligation. The
