Afishionados,

Work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such a machine is the ‘Turbo-Encabulator’.

The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. … The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem’e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the ‘up’ end of the grammeters.

Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed into the rotor slipstream a mixture of high S-value phenylhydrobenzamine and 5% reminative tetryliodohexamine. Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by P = 2.5C.n^6-7 where n is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and C is Cholmondeley’s annular grillage coefficient. Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive pilfrometer … but up to the present date nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope. … Undoubtedly, the turbo-encabulator has now reached a very high level of technical development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.

The government still uses these things today (with some minor upgrades). Unbelievable. A wireless module has since been designed by Intel and manufactured by Qualcomm so that the turbo-encabulator can be used without the need for running cables to each remote decabulator workstation. The Lincoln‘s turbo-encabulator had just gone wireless about a year and a half before I arrived onboard. Considering that the Lincoln has over 50 decabulators spread throughout the ship, it certainly made my job much easier in terms of maintenance and repair (For the record, just because you are a Chief or an officer does not mean you know how the hell to properly use your decabulator to receive the encoded transpondence signals from everyone else on the ship, let alone from the Q36-A compatible satellites). Ah, the memories…
