“The Link is no longer a hand-gripped device.” Allen picked up
an assembly from the small table behind the revised dentist
chair now used during the Link experiments. The video monitor
was now on gimbals, hanging from the ceiling so that it could
be comfortably positioned in front of the test subject and yet
viewed easily by those monitoring the test. “We place this
device around Anna’s biceps, just above the joint. As you can
see, it looks very much like a blood-pressure cuff, except that
facing the meaty part of her arm is this one-inch diameter,
donut-shaped ring,” Allen continued. “In the ring we have
incorporated all of the sensors we had in the hand-gripped
Link.” Allen picked up a bundled cable, with an overall
diameter of about three-fourths of an inch, including a highpressure
hose, two twisted pairs of wires and a thin, white,
coaxial cable. “At the center of the ring,” he said, “we attach
this special terminator, which is a gold-plated high pressure
nozzle. The metal nozzle is held by the cuff tightly against the
arm, making a good electrical and hydraulic connection.”
“Attached to Anna’s other arm, at the wrist, is still a standard
grounding strap. The ten-volt pulse is applied between the
grounding strap and the nozzle. Power to the Link circuit is
supplied by one twisted pair, and the data received from Anna’s
particle is carried by the coax to the recording equipment over
there,” he finished, pointing to an impressive array at a test
station against the wall directly behind the chair, adjacent to the
door.
