Luddite's Mill II

LUDDITE'S MILL

The motion of a Wankel engine was the inspiration for Luddites' Mill

The medallion piece gliding on the copper top of the box rotates on rolling elliptical path sounds complicated? but just a twisty sort of motion. Things become more interesting when the entire top begins to spin. The interaction and an secretly operated access door complete the recipe for the puzzle.
