We now turn to the third dimension of the filaments. In figure \ref{filaments3D} we show the $L$--$D$ projections along the $L$--$W$ projections from figure \ref{finderimage}. Filaments B, C, and D are revealed as spatially coherent entities along the projected axis; filament D in particular is predominantly a 1D structure. Filament A, in contrast, consists of distinct dense clumps, no closer to each other than about 2 pc, that are joined only in projection by more tenuous emission.
It is worth noting that there is nothing in the line-of-sight velocity information that obviously distinguishes filament A from C or D. With the exception of the outlying material at $L\sim 1.5$--2.25, and
$v_{los}\sim-1.5 $v_{los}\sim-1.5$ -- -2 km s$^{-1}$ (which is the clump at $D\sim 2$--3 pc in figure 'ref{filaments3D}), the rest of the material appears to consist of distinct ribbons intertwining in position--velocity space, with some large scale gradients and a mildly supersonic dispersion.
IMPORTANT POINTS: THE SMALLER FILAMENT IS DEFINITELY A 1D STRUCTURE. VELOCITY GRADIENT WITH MILDLY SUPERSONIC DISPERSION BETWEEN COMPONENTS
