Other Early Rife Machines
In the course of my on-going research into Rife, I have been given a lot of information by other researchers. Amongst that information is more technical data on early Rife machines. I also have copies of original Rife lab notes that have never been released before, I intend to do so, as soon as practically possible. The sheer amount of data I have at present is far more than the capacity of my web site. I am committed to finding original, quality data about Rife's work and in particular the machines. On this page I publicly present for the first time, information about other early Rife and Hoyland machines.
Original 1931 Rife Ray Machine
On this page I will introduce information about two machines which I think are important to Rife research. The first is information on a US Naval Transmitter from the early 1930's of a class known as a "MOPA", which is short for "Master Oscillator Power Amplifier". One of the researchers I work with, Robert Harrison, who is an expert on early radio technology came to the conclusion some time ago that Rife's original machine and the Beam Rays machines were probably examples of MOPA's. This idea was fully confirmed when the British Rife Group managed to obtain an original Beam Rays machine which was indeed a classic MOPA design.
Bob Harrison researched his theory further and found information about a particular US Naval Radio Transmitter that appeared to match Rife's description of his original machine extremely well. Bob also found schematics of this device and for the first time I am very pleased to be able to make this data publicly available. Please note that all opinions, errors etc., are mine, but the data itself and the real credit for this work belongs to Bob Harrison.
In the absence of any other information I am personally of the opinion that this schematic and machine is very probably the basic schematic of the early 1931 Rife Ray that was used at the Scripps Ranch clinical trial in 1934, and the one that Phillip Hoyland based his later designs upon.

A 1936 Hoyland Machine
A second piece of information also came to light recently. I was aware of a story about an original Rife machine schematic which had something to do with Dr O.C. Gruner of Canada who worked with Rife throughout the 1930's on isolating a fungal form of Rife's cancer microbe 'BX". This latter form was given the name "Cryptomyces Pleomorphia". Dr Milbank Johnson was anxious to find an MOR for this form of cancer as he believed that much better results in cancer cases could be achieved if they could kill Cryptomyces with the Rife Ray. Johnson hassled Rife constantly for 2 or 3 years to find the MOR of Cryptomyces, however no record exists to show if Rife ever did find it, and the apparent difficulty he was having, as evidenced in various letters by Dr Johnson seems to indicate that he never did find it. Milbank Johnson ran several clinics in and around Los Angeles in the late 1930's, giving treatments with the Rife Ray. At first he used the original Rife Ray No 4 machine, but later he used another machine, details of which were not apparent from his letters. It appears it was a prototype machine of some description from around 1936 and built by Phillip Hoyland. Eventually, in an attempt to find the MOR of Cryptomyces, Johnson apparently shipped this machine to Dr O.C. Gruner in Canada, so Gruner himself could try to find the MOR. There is no clear record of what happened after this. I am aware of an anecdote that says that Gruner got scared of offending the Canadian medical establishment and never actually used the machine. It was said that he eventually gave the machine to a friend of his, a priest, who cannibalised the machine for his ham radio hobby. However, there was also a story that somehow Gruner had produced a schematic of this machine and had sent it to John Crane in the early 1950's, but nobody I was aware of had seen this schematic.
In 2001 Stuart Andrews came across an original document which was a confidential report by John Crane, for internal circulation only within the Rife labs. In that report (on page 6) Crane tells the story in more detail. In particular he says:
"In 1950, John Crane met Roy Rife. After learning how
Rife had cured cancer in the 1930's but had seen his cure suppressed by the AMA,
Crane decided to commit his energy, will and electronic and mechanical knowledge
to bringing the cure for cancer to the public. Dr Gruner of Canada, who worked
with Rife in the '30's provided Crane with one of the original circuit designs
for the Rife Ray Tube. Crane also hired Verne Thompson, an electronics expert
with the San Diego police force, to help construct the new Frequency
Instruments.
Unfortunately, Rife had enlisted the help of electronic experts in the '30's who
never wrote down the details of the instruments. Rife was unable to duplicate
the marvels of his earlier Frequency Instruments. The instruments were completed
by Crane and Thompson in 1953, but the test results were negative."
We immediately started attempts to locate this schematic, without any success until purely by luck, Jeff Garff managed to obtain photographs of the original schematic. Jeff sent them to me and I sent copies to Bob Harrison for analysis. With Bob's help I redrew the schematic (as did Bob himself) with a few minor corrections. Crane had redrawn Gruner's papers and made some mistakes in the process (or maybe they were Gruner's mistakes) but in any event they were minor and obvious.
Those schematics and associated data are linked below. I would like to extend my thanks to Jeff Garff, Bob Harrison and Stuart Andrews for their help in obtaining this, the credit belongs to them, not me.
A 1937 Hoyland / Beam Rays Machine
Below I present a photograph of the inside of an early Hoyland / Beam Rays machine, suspected to be around 1937 vintage. The similarities to the 1939 Beam Ray are obvious. The only major difference appears to be in the oscillator section which confirms my findings about the 1939 machine.
