But I keep asking myself, why would anyone go to the trouble of mirror writing a message in the first place.

Fwiw! Reflections.
Turn on a fan and place it near glass and look at the reflection.
Thought Id throw that in there.

"Author Of This Expression:
Now if you can't read backwards, hold this before a mirror and read the reflection.

You are right

This means that someone has reversed the image already

I opened it in MS paint and hit flip horizontal
It was easy to read then

I do not think that this is all that important
Anyone remember how much education Stubblfield had?
I am guessing not much.

I would say that Stubblfield probably wrote that out to show people he was not as dumb as they thought he was.

I am guessing he had dislexia and that limited his education
People with dislexia sometimes transpose numbers or write letters backwards ......for many dislexics reading backwards is as easy as reading the normal way.

Edit

The way I imagine this writing came about
Someone was bothering Stubblfield with claims like " you can't even write correctly."

Stubblfield then writes out the top part of the page..........backwards and asks the person to read it........of course they can't

So then Stubblefield scrawls the part at the bottom so they can figure it out...........and walks away.

Gary:

I find your explanation of this note very plausible. It very well might have happened just like that.

Of course, we will probably never know for sure but, that is as good an explanation as any. I agree about the dyslexia part as well.

of course he was southern and we do like to joke around..
even i like to play with peoples mind abit..
its just the way we r rised..
wouldn't you say
bill
haha

robbie

oh edit .. i got my own thinking as to how this secondary works just like john does.. it may be a trigger coil with a magnetic contact to the non used battery start of the input on the battery itself..
that would indeed increase the output.. if the magnetic flux could pull the contacts too..
but then it would be ac .. maybe

I have found that you can order perfect wire for building NS coils from here. http://wires.co.uk/acatalog/dcc_wire.html

Now as soon as my soft iron core arrives I can get started building my replication.

Lasersaber:

I had been to that site a while back but I don't see any spec on the wire such as other possible insulation like lacquer, teflon, etc like the other wire suppliers have. Is there someone you spoke with there or another area on their site that gives a full description of the specs?

Thanks,

Bil

I e-mailed and called them multiple times before I ordered. I wanted to make sure that I knew what I was getting. I received my order today and this wire is the real thing. I even tested it to make sure it was bare wire with my multimeter.

lasersaber · « **Reply #3097 on:** February 16, 2010, 09:17:16 PM »

It would probably be wise for anybody interested in ordering to contact them like I did. That way if they change the way this wire is made or something you will know it before you spend money on shipping.

Is the wire you ordered single strand, like what you would get in Romex? How wide is the cotton covering on the wire? Can you post a picture of a piece of the covered wire when it comes in, so we can compare it to ours? The photo online does not show just how large the wire is, nor how wide the cotton is. Thanks

wow
That is really great news!
I too will appreciate a pic. The braid looks very fat, although without some item in the photo for comparison it is hard to say.

Great hunting well done!

Excellent!! This is really good news!

I also like your suggestion to call prior to ordering just in case the process changes but man, it will be so much easier to wind a large coil with that wire ready to go.

Thanks for sharing this source with everyone.

I look forward to seeing your experiments with it.

Here's a picture.

Pirate88179 · « **Reply #3102 on:** February 16, 2010, 10:29:43 PM »

Looks like solid copper wire with cotton insulation...man that is fantastic!!!!!!

Also, thanks for testing it with your meter for any coating on the wire.

This looks exactly what Mr. Stubblefield had back then folks. I want to make one the diameter of a 5-gallon bucket.

Lasersaber, thanks again man, this really helped.

Bill

jeanna · « **Reply #3103 on:** February 16, 2010, 10:57:20 PM »

Well lasersaber, you get the big prize as far as I am concerned.

When I get back from winter camping I will buy some.
How long did it take? Not long is my guess.

thank you,

jeanna

P.S.
@Bill,

A 5 gallon bucket!
==========

EDIT,
I do not see which one you decided to get.
It is sold by weight.
Would you mind saving me some research time and tell me what item number you ordered?
thank you!!

I agree, and do not think it is important either, however, I do want to clear the education part up right away.

He was well educated.
His father was an attorney, and he taught a school as well.
Take the style of writing seen in his patents as an example.
He wrote in complex sentences and in a manner in which modern people are not capable.
He also taught calligraphy and was proud of it.

Exactly.
I did not need to have my computer reverse it.
My only problem was the quality and fuzziness.
