52<!-- My notes after staring at it:
53x y z
541 0 0 Bottom front
55.5 1 .5s 1/4 up short arc
560 0 s Top of short arc
57-.5 -1 .5s Coming down short arc
58-1 0 0 Bottom back
591 .33 .5t 1/4 up long arc
600 0 t Top of tall arc
61-1 -.33 .5t Coming down tall arc
621 0 0 Bottom front (Repeated from above)
63
64x = cos over 1/2 period for short arc, -cos over 1.5 periods for tall arc
65y = sin over 1 period for short arc, sin/3 over 1 period for tall arc
66z = -cos over 1 period for short arc, -cos over 1 period for tall arc
