Accumulators can overlap. Annikian asked us to think about this a while back and today I found in 6-M-1, the last sentence:
"Increase Overlap to increase thrust - decrease Overlap to increase Velocity.
I know a hitter releases accumulators simultaneously and a swinger sequentially. Can a Swinger increase overlapping? Do the words increase and decrease that Homer wrote, apply that both strokes can increase or decrease the overlapping of accumulators?
I think the FIRST step in determining the answer to this question is to DEFINE what Overlapping is . . . then we can move forward from there. This is one part of the Machine that I have a bit of fog on as well. I think a lot of this comes back to the Endless Belt and the diameter of the pulley . . . but not fo' shizzle.
