"All hollow spheres, of certain diameters, represent,
as per diameters,
and their volumes of molecular mass, pure, unadulterated, sympathetic
resonation towards the enharmonic and diatonic thirds of any, and in
fact all, concordant sounds. In tubes it is adversely different,
requiring a definite number of them so graduated as to represent a
confliction by thirds, sixths and ninths, as towards the harmonic
scale. When the conditions are established, the acoustic
result of this combination, when focalized, represents concordant
harmony, as between the chord mass of the instrument to be operated and
the chord mass of the tubes of resonation. Therefore the
shortest way towards establishing pure concordance, between any number
of resonating mediums, is by the position that Nature herself assumes
in her multitudinous arrangements of the varied forms and volumes of
matter -- the spherical. The great difficulty to overcome, in
order to get a revolution of the same sphere, exists in equating the
interior adjuncts of same. In other words, the
differentiation induced must be so equated as to harmonize and make
their conditions purely concordant to the molecular mass of the
sphere. Example: Suppose the chord of the sphere mass
represents B flat, or any other chord, and the internal adjuncts by
displacement of atmospheric volume differentiates the volume
one-twentieth, this displacement in the shell's atmospheric volume
would represent an antagonistic twentieth against the shell's mass
concordance, to equate which it would be necessary to so graduate the
shell's internal adjuncts as to get at the same chord; an octave or any
number of octaves that comes nearest to the concordance of the shell's
atmospheric volume. No intermediates between the octaves
would ever reach sympathetic union.
We will now take up the mechanical routine as associated with adjuncts
of interference and follow the system for chording the mechanical
aggregation in its different parts, in order to induce the transmissive
sympathy necessary to perfect evolution and produce revolution of the
sphere or shell.
Example: Suppose that we had just received from the machine shop a spun
shell of twelve inches internal diameter, 1/32 of an inch thick, which
represents an atmospheric volume of 904.77 cu. in. On
determination by research we find the shell to be on its resonating
volume B flat, and the molecular volume of the metal that the sphere is
composed of, B natural. This or any other antagonistic chord,
as between the chord mass of the shell and its atmospheric volume,
would not interfere but would come under subservience. We now pass a
steel shaft through its center 1/2 inch in diameter, which
represents its axial rest. This shaft subjects the
atmospheric volume of the shell to a certain displacement or reduction,
to correct which we first register the chord note of its mass, and find
it to be antagonistic to the chord mass of the shell, a certain portion
of an octave. This must be corrected. The molecular volume of
the shaft must be reduced in volume, either by filing or turning, so as
to represent the first B flat chord that is reached by such
reduction. When this is done the first line of interference
is neutralized, and the condition of sympathy is as pure between the
parts as it was when the globe was minus its axis. There is
now introduced on its axis a ring which has seven tubes or graduating
resonators, the ring being 2/3 the diameter of the globe, the
resonators three inches long and 3/4 in. diameter, each one to be set
on the chord of B flat, which is done by sliding the small diaphragm in
the tube to a point that will indicate B flat. This setting
then controls the metallic displacement of the metallic combination, as
also the arms necessary to hold the ring and resonators on the shaft or
axis. Thus the second equation is established, both on
resonation and displacement. We are now ready to introduce
the diatonic scale ring of three octaves which is set at two-thirds of
the scale antagonistic to the chord mass of the globe itself.
This is done by graduating every third pin of its scale to B flat,
thirds, which represent antagonistic thirds to the shell's molecular
mass. This antagonism must be thoroughly sensitive to the chord mass of
one of the hemispheres of which the globe is composed. The
axis of the scale ring must rotate loosely on the globe's shaft without
revolving with the globe itself, which it is prevented from doing by
being weighted on one side of the ring by a small hollow brass ball,
holding about two ounces of lead. The remaining work on the
device is finished by painting the interior of the globe, one
hemisphere black and one white, and attaching a rubber bulb such as is
used to spray perfume, to the hollow end of the shaft. This
bulb equates vibratory undulations, thus preventing an equation of
molecular bombardment on its dark side when sympathetically
influenced. It is now in condition to denote the sympathetic
concordance between living physical organisms, or the receptive
transmittive concordance necessary to induce rotation." |
