  Ah! The old 3-light system... fine.

 That's the funny part: today it is not used for this appareil,  but for 
ringlets (you see the similarity, isn't?). The change on the use must be 
really old, tough...

LOL!
Actually, here's what I've found:





1 m. Sacacorchos.
2 fig. Rizo de cabello largo y pendiente en espiral.
3 DEP. Salto en el que el cuerpo del deportista imita con su movimiento la forma de


So ringlet is just the figurative meaning.

This is excellent! As was/is your coffeepot. I used to think I was pretty good
with POV, but scenes like this let me know I'm just a "wannabe" :)

Great work!  but one thing isn't the corckscrew part on backwards????   all the ones i
have had in the past had points at the end of the screw not where the screw meets with
the shaft.

Mine begins very thin, quickly grows and then slowly gets thinner, but not as thin as
it is at the beginning. The problem here is that if I made the screw a bit thinner it
would look too 'fat' (it sounds like an oxymoron, but it's true: as I reduced the
radius the screw looked more like a swirly candle). I played one hour with the
parameters of f_helix2 and got unpredictable results. This is the best compromise I
could get.
