Merge Offrow Continuation

Gallery / Merge & Convergence

A perpendicular feeder re-slots at a multi-feeder merge port, and the single re-joined line leaves the merge row before reaching its consumer one row up, so the bundle-offset walk stops at the off-row exit rather than carrying the slot off the row.
