Hi Bill
Thanks for posting the original picture of MT30. You really have done an amazing job of reproducing the MT pictures. I've emailed you and Scott a few of your MT pictures which I have modified by overlaying the Apologia drawing. Hopefully Scott will post them on the site. I've rotated the "decoder" on a few of the pictures and I've also included a transparent gif of the decoder for others to experiment with. The more I experiment the more I'm sure that this is what the image is for. For example its rings fit certain MT pictures exactly, such as MT13, MT16 & MT23. I wish I could try it out on a few more MT pictures, but I don't have a copy of MT. I'm not sure what the decoder might reveal or exactly how to use it yet, but maybe we have to combine the parts shown in certain pie slices in certain pictures with those shown in other pictures. The letters may or may not play a part. The plot thickens! :)
All the best
Stewart
: Hi Stewart,
: Fascinating idea. I've kept all MT drawing letters in the same relative position but the size is not as varied as the originals. I've posted a copy of the original MT30 to compare: www.orffyre.com/mt121-143.html I'll leave it up a couple days.
: You may use a few examples with my drawings on besslerwheel.com at Scott's leasure :)
: Never think you're not totally barking mad like the rest of us :)
