Here is an Initial model in Top View, for use with TOP frame.

Utilizing Michaels script BottleFeedArray (Top frame version), places the arrayed bottles along the helix where they need to be,
but the script needs to have added:
Each successive bottle needs to be rotated so that its center axis is perpendicular to the cylinders normal at that Pt.

I am pretty slow at getting anything done. :-)

Each angle could probably be calculated, or ...

(The initial bottle's center axis may not be tangent to the cylinder, but is perpendicular to the normal.)
