Series of March 16, 1929

There were seven tests on this date.

1. _Agt._, a burning lamp (Fig. 40); _Per._, as in Figure 40a, whether

the drawing represents a tube from which flame proceeds, or the wick and

that part of the lamp which is within the chimney, at any rate the same

lines which conventionally signify light appear as in the original.

Accompanying script says “flame and sparks.”

2. _Agt._, a butterfly net (Fig. 110); _Per._, the handle of the net is

duplicated, and the general shape of the net is pretty well shown (Fig.

110a).

3. _Agt._, a carnation with four near-angles along its upper edge (Fig.

113); _Per._, four triangles in a row with a hint of lines below (Fig.

113a).

4. _Agt._, a trench mortar (Fig. 42); _Per._, a figure considerably like

but shorter than the trench mortar, and likewise pointing upward, a

stem-like extension like the axle in the original but on the other side,

whiffs of smoke emerging (Fig. 42a). Here the impressions received seem

partly visual, partly ideational.

5. _Agt._, a telegraph pole and four wires proceeding horizontally from

it in two directions (Fig. 129); _Per._, something like a pole, and five

lines proceeding from it in one direction (Fig. 129a).

6. _Agt._, two hearts side by side, transfixed horizontally by an arrow

(Fig. 126); _Per._, two balloon-like shapes side by side, transfixed

horizontally by a line (Fig. 126a).

7. _Agt._, a frieze (Fig. 124); _Per._, what looks like a detail of a

different design yet one which also consists of parallel lines enclosing

narrow tracts which run in different directions (Fig. 124a). Even so

much of distant resemblance would not occur anything like once in ten

times by chance.
