Analysis: Mastery of the Ring Tower Puzzle

The Ring Tower Puzzle was a member of the set of Standard Objects. The analysis is built to proceed in reverse chronological order, with this page serving as an index to the clipNotes to be written for each episode where the infant Peggy played with the Ring Tower and/or its rings individually. The focus is on the Ring Tower first, in two phases. First when the conical shaft is in its designed place and then (earlier) when it had been replaced with a cylindrical rod. Finally note will be taken of episodes where the rings are in play but not engaged with the puzzle challlenge of insertion onto the shaft. This list has been built from the theme-column entries in the video index beginning at P157, working backward down to P18 by examining each clip noted as involving the standard objects or the ring tower specifically.

This index begins as a text listing. As clipNotes for individual panes of the relevant panels are written, those text entries will be converted into links to the specific clipNote (and thus also, by a link there) to the panel housing the pane. (For an example of this structure, follow the links at P146E below)
