This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 19th day of September, 1924, in accordance with request made by Mr. [195] and Mr. [182].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. GC: You will answer all questions I will ask you relative to same.
2. EC: Yes, we have these here. We find we have had part of these before. Not the same receiving sets as we have had before in whole. This receiving set, and the eliminators, as yet have not been completed in the manner that would produce the best results. We find the vibrations as are accorded through the one giving the acoustics in their proper form and order, and very good, yet not completed in whole as given. The static reducers as is given through the colored discs that should and would reduce the vibration in static force and heat have not been completed. The filmet [filament] for the static eliminator can be produced better in the vacuum, as would be necessary for the reduction entirely to be made from filmet [filament] wire and the discs from the formation that will withstand the heat and vibration, or that as is found in solid sheets of mica, which may be colored to the required density by pigment color, for the vibration is necessary in color to reduce the vibration in heat and sudden atmospheric change that takes place in the universal vibration, of which radio receiving sets are a part. As has been given, the connection to the receiving set should come between the vibration as is given in battery finder and that called the detector tube wire, that the amplified vibration may not partake of the vibration in static forces, or in color and heat force, called vibration or static vibration. The addition of tube only makes the vibration the less, as we would find in added tubes, either of the colored discs or of the vibration as is brought to proper acoustics through the eight, or of the discs. This mode as given for the receiving sets as contrived at present is correct, and when followed along these lines and principle will give the best vibration found in the present operation of radio receiving sets. So follow in that outlined, as given, would we bring the best vibration to the present year receiving sets.
3. (Q) Does length of wires connecting eliminator to set increase or lessen the efficiency?
   (A) Depending upon the position or condition in which connections are made, so that circle vibration the length amplifies or increases the efficiency.
4. (Q) Will eliminator or series of eliminators so constructed entirely eliminate static?
   (A) As has been given. The more series of these so constructed acts in the same manner as detector or amplifier tubes operate in present receiving sets.
5. (Q) Of what thickness should the mica discs be?
   (A) That sufficient that they may be made a part of the amplifier, or of the reducing of vibration in color. So it's solid. These may be rimmed, or left as in this, or glass may be used in the same. This vibration is taken in the discs and in the color, pigment color.
6. (Q) Could the discs be cemented to wire with de Khotinsky's cement?
   (A) Any that withstands heat.

2. Subject of 2492-10 - "Static Eliminator #11."

REPORTS

1. 4/12/26 [195]'s letter: "...You will recall the radio device we were working on - a static eliminator and of which you wrote - never was a success but if you read the various copies of the dope we got you will note that reference is made to the receiving sets then in use. Since that time the sets have been improved and wired differently and I think it improbable that the device as planned by us could be made commercially but I do think there is a possibility of getting better receptivity by a new way of wiring and this could be worked out by you together with some radio engineer."
2. 4/15/26 EC's reply: "...Regarding the static eliminator, the machine that we have is one of those new wirings. That is why that I thought if you had no objections to our trying out the first contraption that you started to work on there, that we might be able to get further readings with that on this machine and see if we couldn't work out something, but we'll get these up together I guess and see if we can't get some fellow to make it up for us; but we are very much handicapped, of course, being so far away from any work shop ...but I suppose we'll be able to locate something of that kind in Norfolk..."
