The Patrick Device

Lee and Turner color projector
John Brunner owns a Lee and Turner color projector which has been extensively custom modified for use as a scrying engine.
The device uses Edward Turner’s original method for visualizing the Computational Human Phantom as successive frames on black and white film through red, green and blue filters and to project these sets of three frames superimposed through similar filters. Images are translated through red, green and blue filters into the scrying engine kernel at the rate of 16 pictures per second.
Brunner once called it "the best bloody tool I ever bought."
The Rosenwald sheets
The Rosenwald sheets function as rudimentary scrying engine, apparently providing a matrix (nonfiction) for scrying routines.
