'Mouth' (air intake) carrying the 'breath of life' (air) via
annular duct to
'the brain of the Ancient One' (dew still). The dew still is covered
by
'the ether' ot 'transparent outer skull of the Ancient One.' The water
from the still runs into
'the great sea' (Chlorella culture-tank) where the manna production
starts: the culture-solution circulates through
'the hairs of the beard of the Ancient One' (gas exchange pipes) and
is irradiated by 'the upper eye' (the light-source in the centre of
the culture-tank not visible). The culture-tank is furnished
with
'the remnant' (safety valve) and
'the residues of the brain' (drain cock). Connected to the culture-tank
are
'the three lower eyes' (tanks containing nutrient salts) fed via
'the channels of the lower eyes' (connecting pipes). The light and
power for the machine are derived from
'the fire-containing vessel' (nuclear reactor) with its
'keys' (control rod actuators). Remote handling is performed by
'the arm of the Small-faced One' (mechanical arm and hand). The air
drawn over the still passes through
'the long nose' (ventilation duct) and is ducted past the reactor
(11) in order to cool it and then convects up
'the nose of the Small-faced One' (exhaust) producing
'the column of smoke by day and the column of fire by night'. A Buchner
pump (not visible) in the exhaust produces the vacuum needed to process
the Chlorella in
'the cavities of the brain of the Small-faced One' (manna processing
plant). The Buchner pump is connected to 'the cavities of the brain'
by
'the beard of the Small-faced One' (vacuum pipe manifold). The processed
manna is stored in
'the hosts' (manna storage vessels) and is drawn off through
'the penis' (manna discharge pipe) and
'the cover of the penis' (vacuum lock). The machine stands upon
'legs as columns six' (six legs with rings for carrying poles) resting
on
'the throne' (platform of local materials) which is 'cast down' when
the machine is moved. The whole machine 'the Ancient of Days' may be
seperated into
'the Ancient One' (top part) and
'the Small-faced One' (bottom part). Between these two parts lie
'the nakedness' (interface unit) below which are
'the crowns of the Small-faced One' (inspection covers) and
'the ear of the Small-faced One (communications unit).
