John Ernst Worrell Keely primary sources, not rumor.
This archive assumes the best: Keely's work was real and worthy of rigorous preservation. The record is built from primary sources: corporate filings, contemporaneous press, institutional collections, patents, and verified imagery. Every claim points to a source. If a claim lacks primary evidence, it is labeled as unconfirmed.
