Thanks for the link to Thomas Irv's book!<br />I read: "[...] a large, stolid-looking guardian of its treasures [...] brought out for me a huge and ancient bound volume of papers, easily five inches in thickness and maybe twelve by eighteen inches in flat measure. It held hundreds of hand-written pages - separate documents of diverse size, almost all of them in German, a few in French. All equally obscure to me."<br />Have you an idea of which documents were written in French?MichelGaillardhttps://plus.google.com/u/1/+MichelGaillard-MagisOptisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-12804403161485369412018-12-01T16:40:25.302+00:002018-12-01T16:40:25.302+00:00I forgot to add it’s chapter15 you need,

As ...Thanks yellow, for the idea for today’s blog. As far as I know it was reported that some parts of a small wheel were left and were given to his widow. <br /><br />I have speculated before that it is just possible that the the remains of the model wheel lie gathering dust in the Hessisches Landesmuseum. I say this because a one time correspondent wrote an account of his travels in Europe and on behalf of another of my correspondents visited the above museum in Kassel, where he found the original ink block used for the Maschinen Tractate. He wasn’t looking for anything else, but I guess there might have been more stuff there.<br /><br />You can read his full account if you go to his website where the book can be read online. Go to https://www.irvthomas.com/Innocence%20Abroad/innocence15.html<br />His name is Irv Thomas and the book is called ‘An Innocent Abroad’. <br /><br />The actual books were next door at The Murhardsche Bibliothek. You will have to read through a lot to get to the relevant bit, but it is only a short accoun. <br /><br />JCJohn Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274781515636883957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862207778089432835.post-74535560990165547612018-12-01T10:21:29.679+00:002018-12-01T10:21:29.679+00:00Thanks John.

Your informative narrative filled in many pieces of the story which were previously a bit vague to me. So there was definitely a sixth wheel, albeit a model and only acknowledged by Bessler, in existence at some time.<br /><br />Stephen, do you think we need more riddles from you to solve.
