Salve Randi
Have you read Alan's papers on the machine and the reasons he's come to this design? I'd be interested to know specifically at which point you part company with Alan's conclusions. Don't forget Marsden came to much the same conclusion himself. Alan did not use Marsden's research as such, he re-evaluated all available data from source, Greek, Latin and other from first principles i.e. translated all source material for himself.
I cannot read Greek and my Latin is poor to say the least, so I feel I'm not in a position to make an argument either way as I cannot interpit the source material let alone get my hands on it. Have you 'read' the various original source material?
