Prismatic compound of prisms with rotational freedom

Each member of this infinite family of uniform polyhedron compounds is a symmetric arrangement of prisms sharing a common axis of rotational symmetry. It arises from superimposing two copies of the corresponding prismatic compound of prisms (without rotational freedom), and rotating each copy by an equal and opposite angle.
