About
Snippet
The
moment
one
constructs
a
device
to
carry
into
practice
a
crude
idea,
he
finds
himself
unavoidably
engrossed
with
the
details
and
defects
of
the
apparatus.
As
he
goes
on
improving
and
reconstructing,
his
force
of
concentration
diminishes
and
he
loses
sight
of
the
great
underlying
principle.
Results
may
be
obtained
but
always
at
the
sacrifice
of
quality.
My
method
is
different.
I
do
not
rush
into
actual
work.
When
I
get
an
idea,
I
start
at
once
building
it
up
in
my
imagination.
I
change
the
construction,
make
improvements
and
operate
the
device
in
my
mind.
It
is
absolutely
immaterial
to
me
whether
I
run
my
turbine
in
thought
or
test
it
in
my
shop.
The replay is still saving.
