The Findley Files #27: Untold Tales of the VGL 1992 System 2.5 gantry developed; first self-contained cockpit capable of true piloting and self-morphing From The New Oxford History of Science & Technology (Oxford, 1993), Vol. 16, p. 463: The most recent advances in aviation devices belongs, unsur- prisingly, to the Virtual Geographic League. Long a pioneer in the design and execution of advances transport vehicles, the League in 1992 introduced its System 2.5 gantry, a notable step forward in that it allowed true piloting independent of ground control and the capability of self-induced form plasticity shifts, or self-morphing. While the shape of the System 2.5 vehicle differed somewhat from its predecessors, its essential design remained unchanged. What sets it apart is the control panel, a complex inter-leaving of five different computers which allow for considerable harmonic control during translocation from within the capsule; previous systems relied on ground control exclusively. In addition, a selenium-argon fuel cell system within the vehicle provides ten times the power of previous power systems, assuring ample elec- trical energy for form plasticity shifts, or morphing. This capability allows VGL pilots considerable flexibility in changing external shapes when entering alien universes. . .
