You’re very welcome, Tom.
Great that you got what you needed. Looks great.
I had explored this as well a little bit more.
I had set up a spline (MoSpline with the exact vertices I needed)
This was made editable, and the resulting spline was then converted into joints.
Those Joints can be used then in a Tracer.
To get a progressively wrapped-around effect, I used a small Xpresso.

Off-Topic:
Ruhrgebiet. I had a great time there. Studying for five years in Dortmund.
The people are all so lovely there, and I enjoyed getting to know many people from that area closer. Like my best friend and painter-colleagues from Bochum and so many other places. Museums and concerts. Yeah.
Café Treibsand comes to mind. I grew up 100km from Dortmund.
So, enjoy the Summer, and my best wishes for a creative and peaceful time! Stay safe.
