: Hi MrTim,
: Yes, it doesn't hurt to examine all possibilities just like it doesn't hurt to argue against perceived improbables.
: Why would Bessler risk a future buyer accusing him of deception and demanding their money back?
: If this deceptive start-up was such an impressive requirement, why did he not continue with it? I'm sure he could have figured out how to apply a similar deception to his dual-direction wheels.
: Yes, the Draschwitz wheel was reported as being imobilised with a cord tied to it's rim. But his earlier wheels apparently utilised an applied axle bolt that could be screwed in or out to adjust the speed. How could your proposal be made to work with the axle bolt system?
: Bessler claimed he allowed people to stop, start, push, hold, etc, his wheels as they liked. Why would he allow this if he employed your proposed deceptive start-up process?
: I'm sorry if I don't agree with you on this MrTim but it just doesn't seem likely, at best.
: Of course, this is all my own opinion - I'm certainly not the messiah of universal truth, you understand. That position Will obviously be occupied for some time by someone else's MeageR efforts :)
: Regards, ovyyus
Good points! Maybe we should start calling you "The Voice of Reason" (but maybe not, as we already a VITW? ;-)
