The threaded rod ,if connected to the power buss under the table can be used to power each “level of track on the Helix. You will not need a lot of wire (either showing or hidden) to power the track. Besides threaded rod makes it easy toi adjust elevations on the Helix.

(Unless anyone knows better ?)
Draw a line down the centre of the sheet, and use a suitable strip of wood with a nail in one end and two pencil holes in the other as a compass to draw the curves.
