Using my workflow system to extract embedded content from the 320CE fresco of Christ the Good Shepherd, the above steps took me to a fourth adjustment step: I believe this to be one of Heron of Alexandria’s Automatica by Mechanica, focusing of the life and times of Jesus Christ, set in the Herodian Dynasty, and made to be a thriller.

The machines function “right side up” and “upside down,” can accordion collapse, fold, and telescope both horizontally and vertically. This adjustment view is only one act from three possible in the same machine. These views show it fully expanded vertically, and both fully expanded and partially collapsed horizontally. As various acts require, the story is told by the scene changes.
