For what fictional product is the following a sales pitch for? "For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is this one. Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive dirac-tance. The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marz-le-vanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the “up” end of the grammeters. This magnificent machine has now reached a high level of development, and it’s being successfully used in the operation of nover-trunnions. Moreover, whenever a forescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce soy-nus-oidal re-pleneration. It's not cheap, but I'm sure the government will buy it.” What fictional product is that a sales pitch for, written by a British science student in 1944, reprinted by TIME magazine in 1946, realized in a technical document by General Electric in 1962, and later popularized by voice over actor Bud Haggert in the late 70s?
