               |  Tx  Ty  Tz  0 |   A transformation which takes the coord
               |  Bx  By  Bz  0 |  system into T, N & B as required and

               |  Cx  Cy  Cz  1 |  scaled by Scale.

N is exactly Dir (unit vec) but we got freedom on T & B which must be on a plane perpendicular to N and perpendicular between them but thats all!
