I'm proud to share this animation with you this animation to show tumbler's motion.

Nice animation, but it does not show the sliders moving as I think they would. The tumbler wheels rotate, making the sliders shift position. When all the sliders are in the correct location, the key can be turned.

I thought it was a pretty sad way to re open an old thread

Thanks.
But you're wrong about the F3D's mechanism.

It's a very complex mechanism... I just wanted to explain how it works.

Not the first time I have been wrong! Thanks for the update. I have that file. Should have looked at it more recently than a few years ago.
