some remarks
I agree the ring magnet could well make the difference in the working of the MK1/2 device. But only bench tests will let us find out. Other details may be missing too in the draft patent... we'll see.
About the MK3 (device design of the late 50's) and the possibility of two hidden ring magnets that were extended by the core sleeves, yes it is a possibility, given the fact that Hendershot was threatened in 1928 and thus had become very careful not to disclose the mayor secret(s) of his device, but as an inventor still wanted to pass his invention on to humanity and be rewarded for it. For this reason I'm not trying to replicate this design (yet).
So in the end, while I'm still reading up on other devices as well, I think the MK1 device is sufficiently documented to be able to replicate. I'm going to concentrate my energy and time on the collector/resonator circuit to find out why Hendershot had built it like that. I admit I'll need to return to being an analog thinker and fiddler and immerse myself in the magic world of magnetism, induction coupling, resonance, and other related stuff.
