Camshaft Letters
A row of eccentric cams turns on a shared shaft, each one a step further round than the last. A rod rides every cam and pushes its letter up and down, so the word ripples in a wave the cams draw.
Also known as: camshaft text animation, mechanical wave text, cam follower letters, piston letters css.
