See also: Clara Bloomfield-Moore, Keely's Secrets, Theosophical Publishing Society, 1888, page 36, where she also writes that 'These volumes are to be published by the Lippincott Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, as soon as Keely has completed his mechanical work.' Of these treatises Sykes writes mat 'none of these have been traced; it is possible that the originals are lying in some private library.' In: Egerton Sykes, The Keely Mystery, Markham House, 2nd revised edition, 1972, page 9. Pond writes that Lippincott denies they ever saw or published these books. See: Dale Pond, 'Keely Bibliography,' Delta Spectrum research, 1995, pages 3-4.

  8. C.W. Snell, The Snell Manuscript, Delta Spectrum Research, 1995, page 1. A large part of the book consists of Bloomfield-Moore's 1888 pamphlet and her 1893 book. On this, Pond writes 'While the Snell manuscript contains many of these same quotes mere are a large number of paragraphs mat I have not seen elsewhere. This is why I maintain a certain coincidence with Snell's allegation of the source being a book by Keely. However... there is a great possibility these quotes came from elsewhere.'

From this article, it appears that Anna Keely turned these over to Kinraide: 'It will take Mr. Kinraide about two weeks to go over his papers and effects in Philadelphia before he can begin working on me motors at his laboratory here... ' See also this chapter, for conflicting statements. On Kinraide, see this chapter and chapter 6.

  43. Gaston Burridge, 'The Baffling Keely Free Energy Machines,' Fate, vol.10, no.7, 1957, page 46. Of the Keely files allegedly in Sweden, Sykes suggested that 'Keely's papers are locked up in the cellars of a castle in Sweden just waiting for somebody to go and look at them.' In: Egerton Sykes, 'Keely Once Again,' Atlantis, vol.21, no.3, May/June 1968, page 68. Burridge's tale resurfaced in 1972; that year Swedish publisher Wendelholm issued the ring-stapled volume 'Keely - Pictures of his Discoveries' in a limited edition of 500 copies, now out of print. According to a certain A.L. who wrote me forward, '.. .Keely had a young relative who is apparently still alive. This relative had no great faith in Keely's work, but he related mat Mrs. Moore passed on many of Keely's secrets, however good or bad, to Count von Rosen, at mat time a resident of Scodand. The last information we have of mis material is mat it was brought to Stockholm in 1912. But it has recently come to light again.' The book consists of 54 photographs of some of Keely's devices and charts, some culled from contemporary articles on Keely. Although the writer suggests mat the book is a selection of, or all of the Swedish Keely materials, it is by no means certain mat these photo's were part of what was allegedly sent to Sweden. Pond communicated with the publisher in 1985; the written answer was: 'The original (sic) for reprinting was remitted us from a secret society in Sweden (sic). As we remember the material was transmitted to me society by Count von Rosen there was in family contact with Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore (sic). The material was in old blueprints and brown-colored pictures of bad quality, - particularly me diagrams (sic)..
. We mean, that the only reason we was contacted for this mission was mat we in long time have been produced books of alkemistic caractere, and me society was solicitous to bring the Keely-tradition to the public...(sic)' Copy of letter of publisher dated November 6, 1985, in my possession. My attempts to contact the publisher to clarify this matter were to no avail. Letters were returned, stating that the P.O. Box address was no longer in use. The circumstantial evidence is that some of the photographs sport Bloomfield-Moore's handwriting, identifying several parts on Keely's engines and requesting the return of the photo's to her London home address.

  49. The library of Bloomfield-Moore, 'numbering some 3,000 volumes' and 'rich in works of science and medieval history,' with 'some rare books in the latter class,' was transferred to the University of Pennsylvania; 'This acquisition is being catalogued according to the Dewey system... ' In: 'Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore's Library,' The Evening Bulletin, February 10, 1899. The University of Pennsylvania informed me mat they do not have Bloomfield-Moore's correspondence.

The numbers vary; elsewhere it was stated that Keely had invented 150 different engines. In: 'Keely Of Motor Fame Is Dead,' The Times, November 19, 1898. Edwards writes that 'Between 1885 and 1888 he made more than seventy devices, testing some before witnesses, destroying others after a few runs seen only by himself and his machinists.'

  63. Kinraide was misspelled as Kincaid, 'T.B. Kinrade,' 'Kinraid,' 'J.B. Kinraide,' and even 'Y.B. Kineraide.' That his name was misspelled in print on several occasions, is not so mysterious, when one considers that in the contemporary newspaper articles, Charles W. Schuellermann's name was sometimes misspelled as Schnellermann, Schullerman or Scheullermann, and other names would be sometimes misspelled as well.
