<HTML>It is of interest with Ed that either way you look at it he was not being up front. Either he wanted people to think he was using the pulleys and tripods to lift his blocks because he did not want them to discover his Herodotus machine or he did not want people to think he was using standard lifting devices because he wanted to create a mystery. What is problematical is that if he didn't want people to discover his Herodotus Machine why didn't he just tell people he was using a chain hoist? If on the otherhand he wanted to create a mystery while using standard lifting devices it is not unreasonable to assume he did have motors and more advanced devices and then got rid of them before he died.
