About a thousand years ago, I helped fix an early concept. It was taking a
sheet film and scanning it with a photomultiplier tube looking through a hole.

To put it short - the density determined the Z drive. The work was on a drum of sorts
that was turning on a lathe. The Z was running down on the compound line a 224 TPI
screw cut - but the Z was a electro-magnet driven into the black lacquer brass sheet.

I suspect something like that here - density is depth. A little crude, but not far off.

There was a guy that got drove off that did stuff way better than
