There are four problems with this animation.

1. The number of frames is wrong. There are 12 frames, but only 10 slits. This makes the animation rotate as it animates, which is not what users would see when using the original disc.

2. Frame 6 is a repeat of frame 5. This makes it look like the animation pauses briefly each time it goes through its cycle.

3. There's a frame missing. The jump from frame 4 to 5 is twice as big as any other. Then it repeats the jumped frame. So frame 5 should be replaced with the missing frame.

4. It goes too slowly. It should animate at 10 frames per second or higher to get a smooth animation.
