This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 13th day of July, 1929, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [195].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [195], Mr. [900], and Mr. L. B. Cayce.

TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you [195], present in this room, and the drawing of end view of proposed motor showing the centers of the inner ring and both the inner pinion and the outer pinion. The present model at ... St., Dayton, O., has gears on revolving drum slightly warped, as well as having the drum ends also warped, due to having rebuilt on various occasions. It has been deemed advisable to build a new motor similar to drawing held in hand of [195]. You will answer the questions as we ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [195] - this we have had before. Also the drawing, also the motor model. No reason why this motor doesn't work, [195]! but with the constructions as are seen here on the drawing, the increasing of the size of the pinion gear with those changes as have come in your mind, through the action of conditions as hindered in the passing of the gear about the [drum?], and this, as stands, should work perfectly, and will, if this will be modeled after the idea as presented here. Wilbur Wright. [Spirit communication? Mr. [195] had known Wilbur Wright when he was alive.]
3. Now as for conditions - Ready for questions.
4. (Q) With A as the center of pinion driven by the revolving drum, O the center of end of revolving drum in running position, and B center pinion shaft, running on ring gear at end of revolving drum, with contact at M - We have made radius B M same as radius of driving gear on outside of revolving drum. This is to balance leverage. Is this correct?
   (A) This is correct. Do not change from this in this style motor, for this will allow for the escapement in the revolving of the drum to have sufficient activity without binding on the upward turn.
5. (Q) Would this side inner pinion tend to bind at M on uplifting of revolving drum and not feed through?
   (A) Now this [was] just given! This will allow to feed through WITHOUT binding, see?
6. (Q) Is B the approximate location for center of internal pinion?
   (A) B is approximate location. In fact, IS location in the present model.
7. (Q) The angles are to be made as [Word or words missing on original reading] the other drawing.
   (A) Correct!
8. (Q) The angle at B to be [Word or words missing on original reading] greater than that at O -
   (A) Correct.
9. (Q) With the larger radius at M from center B there will be less tendency for the angle of B to change when loosening up the mesh of the gears. Is this correct?
   (A) This is correct. That's just why the changing in the pull upward will allow for it, as has been described in the position and condition as we had in that former condition of where it bound in its second position, or on the uplift, see?
10. (Q) As we understand it, gears should mesh just firmly enough so that the rotation be easily but mesh tight enough so that the vibrations would not be lost. Is this correct?
    (A) That correct, and here we have the mesh in such a manner that in its turn we find each are acting in their proper coordination one with another, in its turn, see?
11. (Q) In the tank of the new motor the tank is made in two exact halves. This will permit the using of the larger inner pinions and the changing of the angles if necessary?
    (A) Correct.
12. (Q) Are there any further recommendations?
    (A) No further recommendations here at present. Remember this, [195]! Call on Wilbur! [Wilbur Wright] HE will answer!
13. (Q) If properly built revolving tank cannot rise higher than running position?
    (A) Cannot rise higher than RUNNING position.
14. (Q) Is size pinion A correct or could it be made slightly smaller?
    (A) Very slightly, if any smaller, preferably in this same ratio as has been outlined you as indicated.
15. That is all the questions.
16. See, there's another difference, [195], with this in this size, in the number or the angles as are gained by its rotation in THIS size of pinion, rather than that of a smaller or too much larger, see?
17. (Q) Should it be a little bigger?
    (A) No bigger! THIS size! Rather interesting! We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 6/30/29 He obtained 195-64 on motor.
2. 7/13/29 He was present, submitting further questions.

REPORTS

1. 8/31/29 [195]'s letter to EC: "...We are having a tedious time with motor, getting it into shape. Have about three weeks more work on it and then will try it out. However, it seems as if there may have to be some more changes relative to proportion to driving gear and the pinion through which expansion of vibrations is set up. We hope, however, that this model will function enough for us to get a patent and let the refinements come at a later date..."
2. 9/22/29 Mr. [195] was present for 195-66 on motor.
