This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 5th day of July, 1928, in accordance with request made by [195].

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

TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you body and enquiring mind of [195], also assembled [4666] working model motor, and a larger sized drawing for motor, all in 2nd floor apartment, ... St., ..., Ohio. You will answer the questions I will ask you regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [195] - this we have had before. Also the working model of [4666] motor and drawings appertaining to a larger motor. Portions of this model or drawing we have had before. Ready for questions, for there may be much said concerning this smaller working model. The changes as we find necessary for the complete perfection or operation would only be in the ability to make the bearings in the cam work in a smooth manner without using that in lubrication that would prevent the action of the force as supplies the motive power, for the leads and the sprangle are in proper proportion, and needs be only changed in the direction from which the operative force is attracted through same for perfection of the current in fact. While in the larger drawing, as is indicated here on board, provisions here are made for the bearings in a manner by the enlarging of same, so that there will not be binding in the model, or in the cam turn, as is seen in the smaller model; yet the smaller model should be made to operate, yet making the larger as indicated on drawing, and this giving freer use of the active forces as are indicated in that as has been given would facilitate matters, in that it would give an easier access into making the necessary changes in the leads and their pertaining force with the active principles in the operative force, and hence would be easier for the individual to find that of the correct balance in the manner of directing force through leads. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) The quarter inch roller bearings running in end of eccentric drum seem too small. Do these do the binding? What binds?
   (A) As given in this, the turn of same binds - on account of the manner of lubricant in the binding shaft or bearing (in bearing) that causes the stop - when start and stop, see? Now, as indicated, this will be found, or the correction may be easily made in the larger model, for this will give opportunity for the experimentation in the directing of leads, for the length and the angle are near correct. As given, these will of necessity need experimentation with same. Forget not that in the operating the longitude and latitude must be considered, or that direction north, east. south and west, and the activities or principles that work with the force that is producing, or inducing, the impelling force for the motor proper. While this sensitiveness is nominal in some directions, in specific gravity has its effect. Hence these must be taken into consideration.
4. (Q) Are not the shafts and bearings attached to the reverse sides of sprangle wheels in present model?
   (A) Attached to reverse side.
5. (Q) End view drawing of a slightly larger sized motor is on drawing board - with leads 12" wide - eccentric throw 5" - eccentric drum diameter 8" - draw of sprangle 22". Will motor this size and as drawn function?
   (A) As has been indicated, and is indicated, those necessary changes in the bearings and their operative force are provided for in these drawings, as is seen in the length of sprangle and of leads, and of its relation to the force or the gravitation as is exercised in the operative forces of the motor itself. This, as given - these indications as are outlined - these differences as must be considered - should give the enquiring mind of this body, [195], and of [4666] (operative force IN same, or inception of same), that necessary to produce, through their cooperative effort, that model that would work to perfection; for the IDEA is proper, and the activity of same only needs that experimentation, with the direction, the angle, the changes in the specific gravity as indicated of that used AS motive force, and of the activities of the outer forces with same, to make this not an experimentation, but a fact. We are through.

REPORTS

1. 7/06/28 EC's letter to [195]: "...We sent you the information gotten, and certainly hope it works up alright. It seems you are having quite a time trying to get this straightened out, but this - as I understand, was indicated from the very first. As we know, a thing of this kind rarely works itself out until we get to the very point that we understand it. Then it becomes an easy thing. We are mighty glad to help out whenever we can. Don't hesitate to call on us if you think it's possible for us to be of help. As I've said before, it's a mighty hard thing to know WHAT to ask when we don't know what we are talking about, and of course Gertrude has no knowledge whatever of mechanics, and I suppose I have even less - and even when the information is such that it leaves it open for questions, we don't know when nor what to ask; but we are anxious to help if we can..."
2. 7/09/28 Mr. [195]'s letter: "...The last reading on the motor came. Thanks. It was just as I surmised, but before starting on a larger size I wanted to be sure. We learned plenty on the small motor, putting it together several times and making lots of changes. While there is plenty more to learn, I think we have enough understanding now to at least get the new one to run in a crude fashion. This will be a big thrill. In the last reading I couldn't understand the reference to latitude and longitude, and their bearing on specific gravity. I'll study this and it may be presented to me... We expect to have new motor ready to assemble on the 18th and after tinkering around and making any necessary changes, should have it ready to try out on the 22nd. There surely is a lot of deep thought behind it and one can't contemplate on it without thinking deeply of the forces of nature from creation..."
