86. Contemporary newspapers often referred to Charles Redheffer in connection with Keely; Redheffer built a self moving machine around 1810, but appeared to have been a charlatan. This connection of Keely with perpetual motion, more or less, has stayed the same; for instance in the 'New Encyclopedia Brittanica,' 15th edition, 1981, vol. 14, page 105, an entry on Keely is to be found in an article concerning perpetual motion.

Brinton, of me University of Pennsylvania has prepared a paper on the subject, and will publish it when Mr. Keely is ready to have his system made known.' In: Keely and his Discoveries, Aerial Navigation,' Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., page 267. However, the 'translation' or 'paper' or parts of it appeared in the same book on pages 358-364.
108. 'Dashed Against the Rock' was advertised in the back pages of Colville's John Worrall Keely, A Memorial Address, Banner of Light Publishing Co., 1899, as: 'This wonderful story contains authentic reports of interviews with John W. Keely, and introduces in popular form amazing information concerning nature's mysteries.' Also correspondence with Dale Pond, dated August 29, 1995.

118. 'What is the Force, Hidden and Unseen, of Keely's Motor?,' New York Herald, August 22, 1897. George W. Browne, an inventor residing in Brooklyn, made investigations on behalf of the New York Herald into Keely's inventions. Browne 'had been ill for a long time, and during his convalescence he thought a great deal of Keely's so-called discoveries as they were outlined in the daily newspapers.' Browne also went to visit Keely in Philadelphia. Anecdote found in: 'Scientists Expose Keely Motor Farce,' New York Herald, January 20, 1899. A number of large articles appeared in which Browne provided his mundane explanations for the working of Keely's engines, such as compressed air and other means of trickery. The articles appeared, with cross-section drawings of Keely's devices as Browne thought they were, in: 'Keely's Marvels Made Plain At Last,' New York Herald, October 18, 1891, 'Wizard Keely's Music Of The Mystic Sphere,' New York Herald, October 25, 1891, 'Artillery Branch of Keely's Service,' New York Herald, November 1, 1891, 'The Wizard Latest Highest Mystery Is Explored,' New York Herald, November 8, 1891.

When the differential wire was attached to it, it also rose, floated, or remained stationary, at whatever height he wished it to be. This remarkable demonstration of this model airship, it must be remembered, was shown us at the Keely laboratories in 1890, some thirteen years before the brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, flew the first aeroplane in France in 1903.'
