   2. An Earth Inversion Model [SIS C&C Review $]
   ... From: SIS Review Vol V No 3 (1980/81) Home¦ Issue Contents An
   Earth Inversion Model MICHAEL G. READE (c) Michael G. Reade 1983
   Michael Reade, D.S.C., is a confectionery technologist and specialist
   in marine navigation. His earlier contributions to the Review include
   detailed studies of some ancient astronomical records from Egypt and
   India. The author describes a simple experimental test of Warlow's
   hypothesis of Earth inversion which appears to support Dr Slabinski's
   claims as to the forces required. Readers of this journal may like to
   know that some, at least, of Peter Warlow's claims about Earth
   inversion (SISR III:4) do seem to be verifiable by direct experiment.
   Unable to pick my way through either Warlow's or Dr Slabinski's
   analyses (SISR V:2) with any degree of surety, I decided to have a go
   at constructing a model system. I took a table tennis ball and floated
   it on a ring of air jets; I pushed a few small steel pins into its
   equator so as to give it identifiable x1 ...

   3. Energetics of Tippe-top Inversions [SIS C&C Workshop $]
   ... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 1 (May
   1988) Home¦ Issue Contents Energetics of Tippe-top Inversions Michael
   Reade Questions: David Salkeld has raised the point that a tippe-top
   has only its available rotational momentum from which to drawer energy
   for its inversion (C& C Workshop 1987:2, p.30). I fear this may be a
   misleading argument. I reported on some experiments with spinning
   table-tennis balls in SIS Review V:3 (1980/81), pp.96-97. I have one
   particular ball- a foamed plastic one- which behaves in a very similar
   manner to a tippe-top. If spun fast enough, it will spin stably in
   either direction. If its rate of rotation is allowed to fall off,
   however, it will invert of its own accord to a preferred direction of
   spinning. I suspect an uneven distribution of density, though a
   physicist friend has claimed that the cause must be that this ball is
   not truly round. Even table tennis balls are extremely sensitive to
   slight changes of balance and I have still never ...
