: Good point. I've never given much consideration to the pendula since they didn't seem to me to be a vital ingredient of the wheel's mechanism. I think it's clear that they were not present at any of the tests otherwise someone would have mentioned them.
Hi John
No one noticed them, as you say, or the "eyewitness statements" would have said so.
But even so, Bessler himself states in the "New Text Translation" that the rotational force
is through the application of modified 'pendula'. If what he says is true, and noone present saw any connected to the wheel, then they must be internal.
That is the why of my question to you concerning how close the different translation versions that you've seen
are to each other.
Best regards
