[ATM] ATM: "Luna Moth" now "Phoenix"

["David Harbour" <scarab2@cox.net>]

Ken,

Thank you for your input. In honor of my friend, you, I have renamed that 
project "The Phoenix", as per your suggestion; because, indeed, it is a sort 
of ressurection. I will credit you (in the ms.) with helping me name my fine 
masterpiece, that final accomplishment of my nearly thirty year hobby of 
atm-ing, the hobby that helped me devise the many innovations that I 
distilled into that mounting. Also, already three (if not four) very 
accomplished, talented atms are resurrecting my formerly patented (U.S. 
Patent #4,901,072) flanged, direct contact all thread rod sector drive; it 
seems something I did a very long time ago has also become a "Phoenix". So 
already I have something else to leave behind that is finally coming to be 
utilized (patent expired long, long ago).

A piano might drop out of the 8th or 9th story of one of our tall buildings 
downtown onto me today or tomorrow; one never knows.

I now believe that it was meant for me to do it this way; perhaps this was 
all meant to be- then, in more ways than one, I owe you for the inspiration 
I received, from my subconscious. I prefer to think it came from a higher 
intelligence than my subconscious; my subconscious was only the receiver for 
the idea(s).

So you are now part of the production of this thing, having named it!!!!!

BTW, when I finish it as a word document, to be available on disc, there 
will be two CDs; one of them will contain the illustrated word doc., the 
other one, wonderful, beautiful CAD animated renderings of the motions of 
the completed mounting.

I will try to stay above ground long enough to resurrect the "The Phoenix". 
How apt your name is. I am so releived that I did not build it for nothing 
after all; my folder is filling up. In fact, I think most will find it 
useful more as simply a guide, to more or less guide them, in terms of 
features, methods of construction, and the mechanical details, rather than 
only slavishly following what I built. It does not matter; doing the project 
has re-animated my enthusiasm for life; I think it will help prolong my 
years. It is a curious thing how we do not comprehend the future, until we 
see it fulfilled as the present, do you no think so, too?

A well known memember of this list is encouraging his wonderfully talented 
son to help me with all the CAD renderings, modellings, animations. He also 
recovered the dimensions for "The Phoenix" from my "Rosetta Stone" using his 
wonderful talents, his fine intellect, referencing that Rosetta Stone that 
so long  has lain fallow in my attic. He will be very well compensated by me 
for this, in the long run.

My "Rosetta Stone", again:
