I complete understand, and agree; I was continuing references, and the spiral one was often displayed in Lunacy, where multiple balls could be held at a time (sorry for not clarifying).

I do think belts would be efficient means of transport, but as stated, just throwing out other ideas. Trying to get the good ol' brain pumping, ya know?
