Some, if not most of your ideas are nothing more than elaborations of established techniques for raising and moving heavy objects. I was using such techniques as cribs, and progressive levering in building long before I even met you.

As for the idea quoted above, if you're talking about the method I think you are it's one that you got from me in the first place. I'd thought about it many years ago in relation to raising Egyptian obelisks and I remember discussing it with you and drawing up diagrams of how it would work.
