MIGUEL ANGEL GARCIA MACIAS Pianist Composer Discoverer and Ideographic Inventor No. 324 Pino Suarez Avenue VERACRUZ, Veracruz Veracruz, Veracruz March 19, 1950 To the President of the Commission of Scientific Investigation of the United States of North America New York Dear Mr. President, This is to greet you and at the same time to bring to your knowledge the STUDIES which I permit myself to send to that Honorable Commission of Scientific Investigation, because I believe that it is my duty to make them available for the deep consideration of that commission over which you so worthily preside. This deals with stratospheric aerostats (?)* or Flying** saucers as people commonly call them, and which I believe your great Nation, making use of ATOMIC force, possesses. Before giving an exposition of my IDEA, I want you to know of the Inventions which I have thought up by means of my STIDIES as an IDEOGRAPHIC Inventor, and which have been REGISTERED and PATENTED by other persons whom I do not know and which are the following: "GOTE-GRADUNS" (DROP GRADUATION?) The "Gote-Graduns" was originated when I was making studies on Atmospheric Graduations of the Earth and one afternoon it occurred to me to graduate a Dropper. The experiment did not cause me a great deal of work since I was able to graduate it with ease, but the PLANS of my IDEA were stolen from me and patented in your Nation. "AUTOMATIC SHOVELS" for Dump-Trucks (or Concrete-Mixers )**# Arie The Automatic Shovels originated when a party of Workers, was ——— trying to fill a Dump-Truck in front of the Custom House of the Port. I took my watch and I was able to prove that the workers took a long time to fill the truck since it took almost an hour and a half of continuous work. Then I thought that the same Truck equipped with an Automatic Shovel could do the same work in less time. I set about drawing up the plans and I sent them to Mexico to the Secretary of National Economy. The plans remained there % mb se words are written "aereo-astactos extratofericos". I think that ’ the writer intended to write "aereo-estaticos estratoesfericos". 7% The writer frequently uses capital letters when there is no apparent need for them. I have retained them in the translation. ** "Camiones de volteo", literally, "trucks for turning over or revolving".
