"... intricate ... made to ... exact specification. The technically
minded will see that is has a 'printed' circuit (thus avoiding
mis-duplication) and is fully transistorised (no delicate valves or
tubes). It is robust but as with all precision instruments should
be handled with respect and care ... Only half a volt is passed
through the body."1
8.5. The person to be audited is called on to hold the two tin cans - one in each hand.
The auditor then asks questions.
8.6. According to Mr. Hubbard -
(a) "The Tone Arm registers Density of Mass (ridges, pictures, machines,
circuits) in the mind of the preclear. This is actual mass, not
imaginary, and can be weighed, measured by resistance etc. ... The
Tone Arm registers State of Case at any given time in processing ...
also ... advance of case during processing by moving."2a
"Used, for instance, at a road block, if the subject took the
electrodes in hand and the E-Meter was adjusted to read, the tone
arm would tell at once whether the person should be questioned further.
A tone-arm too high or too low would mark the subject that should be
interrogated at length. Sixty persons an hour could be checked by one
machine in the hands of one operator by using the tone arm only. And
every person with a bad tone arm reading could be set aside for additional
testing. All this has held true in tens of thousands of cases."3
(b) "The Needle shows case significance and reality."2b
"The machine reads the emotional reaction to the questions.
Whenever the needle dips a bit the answer is 'Maybe'. When the
needle dips a great deal, the machine is answering 'Yes'. When
the needle does not dip at all, the answer is 'No' or 'Not Guilty'."3
(c) "The Needle shows ... What to run.
The Tone Arm shows How it is Running."2b
"In South Africa a Bantu's withholds read not on the needle alone
but on the Tone Arm as well."2c
