Despite the apparent lack of activity here, the museum and its director have not been totally moribund. Research continues on the interaction between the flat annulus and the long helix. Motors have been tested. Prototypes - well, protoprototypes - have been cobbled together. Our engineering consultants have come forth with help and advice, not to mention brass and aluminium. Nevertheless we have to admit progress has been slow, due in part to the weather and recently the incessant
vernality.
None of this explains the plague of unwelcome and unsolicited comments that have populated this site lately, and one recent post in particular, so much so that we have had excise it (the bedpost, as it were, not the entire site obviously) in the hope this might stem the tide. But perhaps they will simply infest this one. We shall see.

Established under the aegis of the Centre for Electrical Philosophy, the Museum's primary role is to collect, develop and occasionally display works that illustrate or are otherwise relevant to the concepts, principles and interests of the Centre, or the personal research projects of the Director.
The museum for several years offered a program of temporary or seasonal exhibits within the limited public display facilities of the Centre at the Nicholas Building. However, as noted in earlier postings, programs were suspended in 2010. It is hoped to restore all facilities once new premises can be secured.

Finding the Museum
It is regretted that the extended collection, archives and workshop are not currently accessible to the public. It is hoped to restore all facilities once new premises can be secured.
Historical note: the Museum's original site was on the 6th floor of the Nicholas Building, 37 Swanston St, Melbourne, Australia. One could enter via Cathedral Arcade at the corner of Swanston St and Flinders Lane, and be elevated to the 6th floor by Dimitri, Joan or Tim, or even take one's chances in the automatic lift. Except when Mr Otis regretted, then one had to use the stairs.

When does your cobbler plan to reveal his (or, as the case may be, her) protoprototypes?
