I am perplexed about most of it. Vivid imagination? Disturbed? I am sure the History Channel guy with the funky hair has an option too.
Not really.
Appears to be some kept drawings by somebody with a bent for mechanical drafting and for post WWII SciFi/comics.
The box is a typical WWII vintage map case.
Circular drawings were typical WWII aviation navigator generated toolsets.
Looks like the person wan preoccupied with aerial routes of UFOs in his personal investigations. Nothing beyond then state of the art to a layman.
I believe the "VA Document" was a placemat from a cafeteria or something similar, not a note pad or anything like that. Looked as if it might have been on a hospital tray.
When I was 11 to 14 or so, I drew many things similar to these. . . including the UFOs and creatures. I was a big Science Fiction fan and read the Pulp Magazines which had covers that had many pictures similar to those. I also drew geometric figures in color like the one shown. It was a grand pastime I a few friends indulged for fun. We also created fantastic inventions, complete with detailed descriptions.
I have some concerns with his bearing design. . . mixing various sized roller bearings against each other as he has drawn is not too good of an idea. They would rotate at differing speeds and different rotational directions, which in his design would actually add friction. Not exactly what he was intending, I think. Perhaps that is why it was never patented?
