besslerw106.jpg besslerw107.jpg The above two diagrams better illustrate the moment before and the moment after the the set of 4 crossbars shift from the ascending side to the descending. See purple selections where the spring weights latch and unlatch between the yellow weights and stork's bill. N...

Re: Part Three is the Charm
44_48.jpg MT44 and MT48 have been discussed before on this forum. They are typical nonworking OOB wheels rather similar to a few other drawings in MT. Why did B. single out these two and state that they could be converted to working ones in the presence of what he calls "application" and ...

Re: Part Three is the Charm
SB Variants.jpg I want to call attention to the storks bill (SB) units. They actually come in two variants, a wider one and a narrower one. In this 8-lever system there is 4 of each variant and they alternate between them around the wheel. Why is this? The reason is that each lever supports two SB ...

besslerw100.jpg besslerw101.jpg besslerw102.jpg frame2.jpg besslerw103.jpg besslerw104.jpg I am adding a (rectangular) brace to each pair of inner levers to lock them in place.

Here I changed out the shape of the blue spring weight from that of a puck to a sphere. I am gravitating toward the spherical form for a couple of reasons. I imagine that as the blue w...

Re: Part Three is the Charm
I have a couple of thoughts I wanted to share. First the spring or blue weight in my preceding designs is in the shape of a puck/short cylinder. It occurred to me that it can also take the shape of a sphere. B. may have suggested this in the AP metaphors of the root and the seer/beholder, which I be...
