NARRATIVE
            A Wire Wave Machine shows torsional and transverse waves. There are two other sections as well, one tapered and one smaller. These can be hooked together to show the affect on the tapered and the quarter wavelength apparatus. Without the tapered section, by just hooking the smaller to the larger, you can show change of velocity and reflection at a boundary.
