TEXT

GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [195] of ... St., ..., Ohio, and his drawing of end view of new cam arrangement and sprangle attachments for [4666] Motor which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions I ask.
EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [195]. Also the drawing as represents end cam shaft for [4666] Motor. Portions of conditions of these we have had before. The arrangements as we see in the drawing represent very near those angles and those conditions for sprangle ends as have been outlined for same. Ready for questions.
(Q) Is the curve S.T.V. in lower half of cam guide of too small a radius?
(A) No. This near the proper angles that are necessary for proper activity of sprangles in the rotation.
(Q) Should this curve be more gradual?
(A) No. The eccentric or the levitation as is produced by curve is necessary in the activity as is sought.
(Q) Should that circular part of cam designated M. be of smaller radius?
(A) Of the proper ratio of the radius between that and that made by the angles as just given - S.T.V. - see?
(Q) Is M in correct proportion to N?
(A) Rather make in correct proportion to the curve.
(Q) Are the sprangle guides on the sprangle wheel of correct radius?
(A) Correct.
(Q) Are they set at correct angle?
(A) Correct.
(Q) Figure Y at side shows end of lead having ball races D and E as shown while ball bearing at F not sprangled. Is this correct?
(A) Correct, with the proper ratio between S.T.V. and M.
(Q) Would machine work when leads made as in figure X? where A and C are sprangled and Bearing B is not sprangled?
(A) Would work. That in Y works, with the proper ratio set, the better.
(Q) Would it work if all the Bearings A. B. & C. were sprangled?
(A) Work the better all sprangled, as has been given. This the greater variance for the whole operation, for - as seen - the power of activity GAINED by the set of the sprangle!
(Q) Is diameter of that part of cam designated N too large?
(A) No.
(Q) In figure Y is ball race D distance enough from F?
(A) Proper ratio.
(Q) Is ball race E in correct place?
(A) Correct.
(Q) Any suggestions for further changes?
(A) None other than that as designated in making the proportion of the circular portion in M as that in proper ratio to the curve, as given. Then we have the sprangle set in that angle as is seen in Y from A, C and D, in their proper ratio. These should operate in MAGNIFICENT form.
(Q) Give the figures of the ratio N to M.
(A) It's the ratio between M to the curve, in that given. That's the ratio to consider, see? We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

See 4665-9 on 8/15/28.
8/21/28 Mr. [195] submitted questions' saying: "...Please save the drawing and return it to me here. I'll have to use it again on making some measurements..."

REPORTS

8/25/28 Mr. [195]'s letter to EC: "...Thanks for getting reading off so promptly. It just came and gave just about what I expected. It was most encouraging. Have spent the last several days on study on this and nearly all night and found out two or three automatic workings and changes that are almost uncanny. The long concentration on this is wearing and at night I usually get a dream of some kind but last night I got the thing working and it went so fast the vibrations shook the building, it seemed, and I woke up.
"This new motor is going to be real hard to make as it will have to be on ball bearings. That is, the leads suspended on bearings. Each lead suspended on six bearings; three to an end, and these bearings each slide in an individual sprangle slot.
"Will have to spend another week getting details drawn and if the details work out without interference in the rotation of motor, we will start building the parts.
"Surely hope the new one works out. I think it will. Much thanks for the assistance you have given us combined with what the forces gave direct.
"Am in hopes the hospital is progressing. Please let me know how [165] was impressed..."
9/01/28 [195]'s letter to EC: "...Have worked day and night on the motor and was stuck on a problem of how to get my leads around the cam. Last night I finally solved the problem and before going ahead with the motor I would deem it best to find out if it is now going to work. This type will be very expensive to build and any mistakes or any future change will be extremely costly. Have made two drawings which I'm sending together with a copy of questions which I want asked, and I trust that you can get an early report for me on this data. Certainly appreciate it. When you finish reading will you please wire me collect if changes will have to be made, at the same time please return the maps or drawings.
"[900] wrote me yesterday that the work was progressing very favorably down there and that hospital was looming up in great shape. Am anxious to get our motor finished and patent applied for by the time the hospital is finished and to that end am working day and night to understand better the forces radiating the energy - as well as the best mechanical means of applying and transferring these forces."
