: Hi George. I tried to look up your word Rupferer in several on line german-english dictionaries and it doesn't exist.

Hi Mike,
Bessler called his machine the 'RUPFERER',
which I translated to the 'PLUCKER'.
From my point of view it is exactly what the machine does during
its movement. The inner weights are hittig against the big wheel,
and therebye the weight's are brought in the right(correct) position.
The inner weight's are swinging.
Best regards
Georg
