MT thoughts ;7)

My tests today indicate that the CG shifting will not work. It does a great
set and reset but the CG change is not very much.

Maybe the set and reset can be used to change the CG some other way.
I have always said there will be a combination of things that might have to
be used to make a wheel work.

MT 47 is interesting.

The number could be related to Pythagoras and Problem #47 described in Euclid's Elements. The formula proves the 3-4-5 triangle and is described as the basis or foundation of ALL masonry by Albert Pike.

What is more interesting is that the number 47 is written twice. Once correct and once upside-down. Misstake? Bill?

Typical attitude among armchair sceptics would be something like: "Bessler (mr.clumsy) first mistakenly wrote the drawings main number upside down.. Then when mr.clumsy finally noticed the mistake he was not able to correct it (too clumsy), but added a new number 47, now the correct way...

No, let's use our brain instead! Let's for a while assume that the upside down #47 was intentional! To get further we must for a while assume just that. If so, the drawing will also have a have another secondary meaning when viewed upside down. (That is when the upside down #47 becomes the correct one!!).

Turn it upside down...and look for "55"...

Then remember that my research showed that "55" could be the secret Masonic "code" for (the) Pyramid..(secret)..

So what does that have to do with Euclid's (Pythagoras) Problem #47?

I will leave that up to you to play around with.

And of course, the only letter that is still the same/unchanged when turned upside down is H. Then 47 + H (8) = 55

1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 = 55

And this seems to represent a four sided terraced step pyramid (e.g. Ziggurat) of base 5 x 5 units, then 4 x 4, 3 x 3, 2 x 2, 1 stacked on top etc.

Also IIRC Oystein made the case for the switcharoo of 5 and 3. So this could indicate that MT53 is important (53 is also one of the internal angles of a 3-4-5 Triangle). MT53 shows basic leverage techniques. Between MTs 53 and 55 is MT54, also showing leverage techniques except B introduces a SB, which we know there is something special about because B told us so. And according to the Toy Page .. if one knows how to arrange and apply them differently.
