'Truck' is used for Z-axis motion by Toon Boom Storyboard Pro 24 docs, for lateral motion by the IIT Bombay D'source course (archived 2025-03-18), and for following action generally by Penn State Media Commons; no single usage is shared across these sources.

Curator qualifications: SIGGRAPH 2006 schematic-storyboard conventions (S10) and Utah glossary (S3) not reinspected. Penn State page bytes changed since producer fetch; claim sentence re-observed in curator bytes 2d704830 but producer pin no longer reproduces. No authoritative cinematography glossary (e.g. ASC) consulted; terminology varies by region and era. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary.

Limitations: Educational/vendor pages only. [rights_conflict_record] Eligible as terminology-conflict observation: recommend labelled arrows and explicit axis wording; cite curator bytes for Penn State.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
