>> Incorrect I can see, but how can you be
"unethical" with a gearbox?
Marchant contends (with a bunch of evidence, not speculation) that Price made some
important technical decisions that were easy and emotional, rather than professional and
scientific.
Price's "Gears from the Greeks" is still the most * popular * article about
the device, because for a very long time it was the only article. But a large amount of
new research in the past few years uses much more advanced technical imaging and includes
analysis of forgotten pieces of the device to which Price never had access -- pieces that
severely change the device's story.
