John Crane - Rife's
Research Partner

John
Francis Crane was born on 11th September
1915. Crane served an apprenticeship and
qualified as a Machinist in 1942.
In 1950, Crane was working for the
Consolidated Aircraft Corporation (Convair)
in San Diego. Crane met Rife when Crane
was trying to buy a very high quality
draughting set from Rife. During
their discussions, Rife told Crane about
the microscopes that he had built and
about the Rife Ray instrument and that
the device had been used to cure cancer
and other illnesses. During that same
year, John Marsh became Crane’s
supervisor at Convair when Marsh moved
from Tucson, Arizona to San Diego,
California. Marsh’s wife had developed
cancer of the uterus and the doctors in
Tucson recommended that she be taken to
San Diego for specialized treatment.
Marsh told Crane about his wife's
illness and so Crane took Marsh to meet
Rife. Apparently Rife was initially
reluctant to get involved, but Marsh
pleaded with Rife for his assistance to
help cure his wife's illness. Eventually
Rife agreed to help and he gave Marsh an
old broken Beam Ray instrument that had
been stored away in the basement of his
house. Rife told Marsh that Verne
Thompson, who was working with the San
Diego Police Department as a radio
engineer, had previously done some
electronic work for him. In fact
Thompson had worked on Dr. Yale’s Beam
Ray instruments and apparently knew
those instruments inside and out. Marsh
asked Thompson to repair the instrument
that Rife gave them. Marsh then treated
his wife with the instrument and after
several treatments Marsh said that his
wife's pain had disappeared and that she
got well. Marsh and Crane were so
impressed with the miraculous results
achieved with the Frequency Instrument
that they decided to persuade Rife to
work with them to build Frequency
Instruments and get them into doctor’s
hands to help people who were suffering
from incurable diseases.
Crane then set up a company called
Allied Industries to develop and
construct Rife Frequency Instruments.
Rife and Marsh were partners in the
company. Rife provided the technical and
scientific expertise, while it appears
that Marsh handled sales and marketing.
Crane then hired Thompson as their
Electronics Engineer. Although much of
Rife’s documentation was destroyed in
mid 1939 during Morris Fishbein's AMA
assault, Rife did all he could to
provide Crane with as much information
regarding the design and construction of
the Frequency Instruments that he could
remember, including the details of the
frequencies that were used. Fortunately,
Dr Gruner of Canada, who had worked with
Rife in the 1930’s, had a circuit
diagram of a Hoyland Rife Ray Instrument
and he sent Crane a copy. The frequency instruments that Crane,
Rife and Marsh started to build used
audio frequencies. It may have been that
they were the easiest to build because
they already had a working Beam Ray Corp
instrument to base their design on.
Crane also lowered Hoyland’s frequencies
by a factor of 10. Marsh later
said that they had come up with the
frequencies using mathematics. Thompson
knew what frequencies Hoyland’s
instrument used and he gave those
frequencies to Rife, Crane and Marsh.
There were a few variations in some of
the new frequencies and these
adjustments may have been necessary in
order to get them to work better. Most
people thought that the lower audio
frequencies were Crane’s invention. The
facts have now shown that they were
Hoyland’s frequencies divided by 10.
Crane said that the first instrument
they built didn’t work very well and it
was not until 1957 that their
instruments were giving the sort of
results that had been achieved with the
Hoyland instruments. The Palo Alto
Detection Laboratory, the Kalbfeld
Laboratory, the UCLA Medical Laboratory
and the San Diego Testing Laboratory
were each provided with a Frequency
Instrument to test whether the output
from the instrument was harmful or not.
All four laboratories declared that the
instrument was safe to use.
In December 1953, with Crane’s
encouragement and with increasing
confidence as he saw his work being
revived, Rife wrote a report titled “History of the Development of a
Successful Treatment for Cancer and
other Virus, Bacteria and Fungi”.
The Rife Virus Microscope Institute, San
Diego, published this report. In this
report Rife described his methods and
the results achieved with his cancer
cure. However, the established medical
authorities ignored the report.
At the beginning of 1954, Rife
copyrighted his cancer report. Also in
1954, Allied Industries applied for a
research grant. Rife was listed as the
Principal Investigator for the grant,
and was shown as the Director of
Research. John Crane was listed as the
Manager and Design Engineer, Verne
Thompson as the Chief Electronics
Engineer, Don Tully as the Development
Associate, and Cameron Bland as an
Electronics Engineer. Dr James Couche,
MD, was listed as a consultant to the
company.
By 1956, Allied Industries had
changed its name to Life Labs Inc. with
Crane as the President and Rife as the
Chief of Research. The address of the
company was shown as being at 4246
Pepper Drive, San Diego.
On 8 November 1956, the San Diego
Section of the Instrument Society of
America witnessed the first public
showing of the new Frequency
Instruments, along with one of Rife’s
microscopes.
In July 1957, Crane and Marsh
supplied Frequency Instruments to Dr.
Robert Stafford of Dayton, Ohio who
began to conduct clinical trials. Here
is a quote from Marsh’s papers. Rife,
Marsh and Crane were talking at great
length about Marsh’s trip to Ohio to see
Dr. Stafford. In the papers they talked
about the frequencies. I would
recommend that everyone read these
papers because they show that Rife,
Crane and Marsh worked as a team and
that Marsh and Crane considered the Life
Labs Inc instrument to be Rife’s
instrument.
-
Rife:
“Well I have lived my life for the
benefit of humanity, and it is the
end result of the accomplishment.”
-
Marsh:
“Yes, now here is what I did tell
them. They wondered where I fit into
the picture. I told them I had
layouts of the base, [that] I
designed part of it. You would say
that I was possibly not exactly an
inventor, but I think we are all
co-inventors of a sort by adding
what we think would make the
instrument better and if they try to
validate any of the statements that
I have said to them please don’t let
me down, and say no this isn’t so,
which might upset what might be the
truth to them. I mean just by
accident. Now what I mean by that is
this. I don’t think that I have in
my own right lied to them. I did
[didn’t] try to impress them with
the idea that I was the one that did
it. I did impress that you [Rife],
John Crane and myself had worked
together on this thing, but that you
[Rife] were the inventor and John
[Crane] was the designer and
inventor, co-inventor and myself for
putting this thing together and
making it. They asked if I helped
putting this thing together and
making it from time to time. I
couldn’t tell them that I didn’t,
because if I had built up a feeling
in them that I knew nothing about
what I was doing; psychologically
that could have torn down, or have
caused delay [to] the foundation
that now is laid. Now I think we
have a solid footing there. I under
no circumstances would want that
torn down, and I will not under any
circumstances accept the credit for
this instrument as being invented,
because it is Rife’s instrument as
printed on the plate in front and
that is one of the reasons in
building you up to them, which I
don’t think is unwarranted; not by a
darn sight, and that is why they
want you there. They want to hear
you talk, and they also want to know
your past experiences with the
people of La Jolla and also I was
very happy to have received the
paper concerning the Dr. etc.,
because I’m sure Stafford will
contact every blooming Dr. that you
had given him to me and I turned
over all the letters to him, because
I didn’t want anything to stand in
the way if he could contact him, now
whether he would do that, before he
would talk to the group, and I do
not know. I suppose he will, but he
wants the truth as badly as you do.
Now I don't know an easier way it
can be done. I don't think there is
going to be an easy way to get it
on, but I think I’ve outlined this
thing. I studied the moves I was
going to make before I ever went
there. I studied what I was going to
do if I had the opportunity to do
so, which I did.”
-
Rife:
“Well I think that you did a very
excellent job.”
(From the John Marsh tape collection
- Trip to Ohio papers pages 4 & 5 on
www.rife.org)
In October 1957, Crane made a circuit
change that allowed control of the
intensity of the ray emission.
In November 1957, after 6 months of
testing, Dr. Stafford reported positive
results. Of 4 patients with cancer, one
made “remarkable and unexpected
improvement.” The other 3 were treated
while in a terminal stage. All 3 died,
but all obtained relief once the
treatment was initiated. Autopsies
were done on 2 of them. The results
showed they had died from other causes.
Stafford reported that there was a
“surprising paucity of cancer cells.”
Stafford also noted that of 33 patients
treated for a variety of ailments, none
experienced any detrimental effects from
the treatments.
In January 1958, Crane supplied
Rife-Crane Frequency Instruments to a
group of Salt Lake City doctors who
began to use the instruments on
patients. In February 1958, Dr Stafford
presented his findings to the Executive
Committee of the General Practice
Section of the Montgomery County Medical
Society of the AMA. The committee of 8
doctors were impressed. They agreed to
allow Dr Stafford to set up a Research
Committee with Dayton’s most influential
doctors. In March 1958, Dr Jeppson at
Salt Lake City, Utah reported that the
trials with the Rife-Crane instruments
were successful, however by May the Salt
Lake County Medical Board forced Jeppson
to stop providing Rife treatments. In
May and June 1958, Crane received
reports that the Rife-Crane instruments
often strayed off the desired set
frequency, which hindered the success of
the treatments.
Stafford used the AZ-58 for 5 years
on his patients. His report is very
favorable on many conditions that he
used it for but when it came to cancer
treatment, it seems that the AZ-58
instrument did not work as well as
Hoyland’s instrument did. Stafford said
this about the AZ-58 frequency
instrument:
“As yet, we have failed to “cure” any
case of advanced, terminal malignancy.
It appears in several instances that we
may have impressed the disease
favorably, temporarily. It is difficult
to rule out the psychological, morale
booster effect to the terminal patient
when some definitive effort is made
again in his behalf. However, several
improvements have appeared to be more
physical than emotional...All the
patients in the series were treated with
the same frequencies (e.g., 728 - 784 -
880 - 2008 - 2128). Perhaps these
frequencies may be wrong, or only nearly
correct.” (From the John Marsh tape collection -
Dr. Stafford’s report on using the AZ-58
on www.rife.org)
Everyone that has been involved with
Rife technology for a long time has seen
the very same results as Stafford. The
question is why did Hoyland’s audio
instrument work so much better than the
AZ-58 when it came to cancer? It appears
that Life Labs Inc should have built the
AZ-58 exactly the same as Hoyland’s
machine and not changed it as they did.
The instrument had to be built exactly
the way Hoyland built it for it to work
properly. This unique way of building
the instrument appears to have
accomplished what he wanted to do and
that was to keep anyone from finding out
what the true MOR’s were. As we have
already read, Stafford came to suspect
that the audio frequencies were not the
true MOR’s and he corresponded with Dr
Edward Jeppson in Salt Lake City
regarding this problem. Here is an
extract from his letter:
“Please
excuse my format in the following letter
for I intend to ramble a bit and forget
strict grammatical dictum. I am writing
you at this time partially because John
Marsh informs me in a recent letter that
you may be somewhat disheartened or at
least worried about your role in the
experimentations with the Rife Machine.
Believe me, Dr. Edward I know how you
feel for I too have been through this
same feeling with this matter. I have
observed clinical results after
treatments with this gadget which I can
scarcely believe myself. Yet, despite
these good results, I have been confused
by some rather simple failures such as a
recent experiment which I conducted at
Good Samaritan Hospital where we used
the machine to treat some cultures of
Staph Aureus and Strept. Fecalis. In
this work we failed to inhibit growth at
all or influence the cultures with the
Rife Rx. I sent the results to John
Marsh and asked for clarification and to
be very frank I am not satisfied with
John’s excuse of the failure as
described by Dr Rife. I am afraid I’m
not a very good apostle for I’m getting
some ideas myself on how this thing may
work. I really wonder if this ultrasonic
kill’s bacteria and virus at all or does
it work like other forms of ultrasonic
and merely stimulate the tissue in some
unusual manner thereby improving the
circulation and secondarily enhancing
the bodies defenses against infection…To
summarize some of this rambling: I feel
that the Rife Ultrasonic Therapy has a
very definitely beneficial effect on the
human (and canine) body...I furthermore
feel that we, as doctors of medicine,
using this machine must remain
constantly alert to the condition of our
patient and vary the Rx as
indicated...Let me hear from you Dr
Jeppson. How are your cases coming
along.”
Clearly Dr Stafford didn’t believe
that the audio frequencies were correct.
Little did he know they weren’t even
close to the true frequencies. The
Rife Ray #4 frequencies were the correct
ones and the AZ-58 could not output
these frequencies. It could only try and
reach these frequencies by harmonics.
Whatever was told to Dr. Stafford by Dr.
Rife through John Marsh there was no way
that they were going to tell Dr.
Stafford he wasn’t using the correct
frequencies. This would ruin everything
that they had worked for. Besides they
were testing the AZ-58 to see how well
it would work using audio frequencies.
At this time it is apparent the AZ-58
was not performing as well as Hoyland’s
instrument. We need to remember Hoyland
tested his instrument using Dr. Rife’s
microscope. When Henry Siner was in
England testing Hoyland’s instrument he
reported that it would kill the
organisms while they were looking at
them under Rife’s microscope. Dr.
Stafford found out the AZ-58 was not
capable of doing this. In the 1950’s
Rife no longer had a lab for testing any
microorganisms. They were not able to
test the AZ-58 frequencies properly with
the microscope. So they did the only
thing they could. They let the doctors
use it and tell them how well it worked.
We must remember the first instrument
that Rife gave to Marsh and Crane was
Hoyland’s and it worked. Marsh said it
cured his wife of cancer. Again the fact
is the AZ-58 never worked as well as
Hoyland’s instrument. How Hoyland came
up with his idea to build his instrument
and make it work is still not fully
understood. The changes made to
Hoyland’s instrument to produce the
AZ-58 were not good changes. These
changes did not produce the same results
as Hoyland’s instrument. But still even
with the changes the AZ-58 worked very
well on just about everything else but
cancer. These lower square wave audio
frequencies are what people have been
using for the past 50 years believing
they were Rife’s true MORs. Until the
Beam Ray Corp trial papers, John Marsh
papers and the Beam Ray Corp instrument
of Hoyland’s came to light we did not
have the ability to finally figure out
where all these frequencies came from,
or which frequencies were the true MORs.
Not withstanding the various setbacks
Dr. Stafford was still amazed at the
wonderful results he achieved with the
AZ-58.
In June 1958, Crane built the first
Contact Pad Frequency Instrument and by
August 1958, Stafford had “the big
machine with the blue light bulb” and
the “new little machine with the direct
applicators”. The development of the
contact pad or electrode type instrument
was done supposedly with Rife’s
assistance. Crane had reasoned that the
radio transmitter type plasma ray tube
instruments would have difficulty
getting licensed as health devices, and
thought that a machine using contact
pads, instead of a ray tube, would
achieve the same results and be more
acceptable to the medical authorities.
Rife apparently supported this
development, since Crane and Rife are
heard in Marsh’s recordings, talking
about these instruments. Crane had
reasoned that the essence of the
instrument was the use of the correct
frequency and any means to deliver the
frequency would be acceptable if it was
effective. Rife stated later, that he
had observed a test of the effect of the
electronic frequency generator, of the
type produced by John Crane, and that he
had seen the instrument kill earthworms,
bacillus coli and other microbes.
Initially, Crane just used a Heathkit
audio frequency generator, although
later on he found that a more refined,
purpose built instrument worked better.
At the end of 1958, The California
Public Health Department held a hearing
regarding the use of the Rife-Crane
Frequency Instrument. Despite having
been declared safe by four prominent
laboratories, the AMA Board under the
California Director of Public Health,
Dr. Malcolm Merrill, declared it unsafe
and banned it from the market.
In 1959, Dr Couche provided Crane
with a taped interview & testimonial
titled “Twenty-two Years of Applied
Medical Therapy with the Rife Frequency
Instrument.” On 28th February
1959, Dr Stafford initiated discussions
with Crane for the rights to manufacture
and distribute the Frequency Instruments
in the Eastern United States. He had
already discussed a partnership with
Harold Leland, who was an electrical
engineer and they intended to form a
company to manufacture the frequency
instruments, under license from Life
Labs Inc. Crane replied to Stafford in
March 1959, and he discussed the details
of how the business venture between them
could be structured. Crane also
indicated that he was looking forward to
completing the design of the first
production instruments. He made a point
that these would operate below 10khz to
avoid any licensing requirements by the
FCC. Obviously, the machines that they
had been working with up until that time
were considered to be experimental
machines and a final design was still
being devised. Crane also proposed a
plan to only lease and not sell the new
instruments so that there would be more
control over the instruments to ensure
that they were periodically checked for
effectiveness. Crane was concerned that,
if the instruments did not work
correctly, the doctors would fail to get
good results – an occurance that had
troubled them in the past. Crane had
already completed a preliminary patent
application with a California attorney,
and he sent a copy of it to Dr Stafford
for his Ohio patent attorney to examine.
The two patent attorneys were in
agreement that the application was in
order.
However during the period 1959 to
1960, Crane was unable to submit the
patent application to the government
patent office until the “usefulness” of
the invention could be shown. He was
advised that substantial evidence had to
be gathered from enough doctors and
others experimenting with the different
frequencies, before the patent
application would be accepted. With no
organized medical, scientific and
laboratory involvement in the research,
as had been the case in the 1930’s,
Crane was forced to establish
“usefulness” under a very difficult
handicap. There was opposition from the
California Public Health Department and
he already had problems with the
authorities in Salt Lake City. So Crane
decided to lease the Frequency
Instrument out to doctors in order to
build his experimental base and thus
prove the “usefulness” of the device.
The number of people who were being
healed with the machines began to mount.
Crane slowly gathered reports,
testimonials and evidence. In the
meantime, he refined the procedures for
the operation and use of the pad-type
Frequency Instrument.
In 1960, Crane wrote and copyrighted
a manual explaining how the Frequency
Instrument was to be used. By that time,
about ninety instruments were in use by
doctors for research and verification
purposes. Crane finally improved the
efficiency of the instrument by placing
a tuning capacitor in the resonant
circuit of high voltage transmission.
However, things were soon to turn
against Crane and his colleagues. Towards the end of 1960, the AMA and the
FDA raided Crane's office and $20,000
worth of equipment, electronic parts,
engineering data, research records and
reports were removed along with all his
pictures off the wall, private letters,
invoices and tape recordings. This
was reputedly done without a search
warrant. Doctors who had Rife-Crane
instruments were visited and forced to
give them up. Ordinary citizens who had
begun to experiment personally were
threatened. Eventually the partners of
Life Labs Inc. were served with a
summons regarding “the manufacture and
sale of illegal medical devices” and
"practicing medicine without a license".
Rife, then almost 73, was unable to
handle more abuse from the authorities
and went into hiding in Mexico. On 7th
March 1961, while in Mexico, Rife
provided a sworn deposition to assist
with Crane’s defense.
In Spring 1961, the case of "The
People of the State of California vs.
John Marsh, Lallas Bateson, and John
Crane" came to trial. From the
beginning, the case went badly against
the defendants. Crane, Bateson and Marsh
were not allowed to use any of the
records and materials seized, in their
own defense. The judge did not permit
Rife's deposition or Dr Stafford’s
reports or any other medical reports
from the 1930's and 1940's to be
presented as evidence. Dr
Tully provided Crane with a testimonial
document titled “A Discussion on the
Frequency Instrument Therapy” but it was
also not permitted to be presented. The
foreman of the jury was an AMA doctor
and the balance of the jury was screened
to make sure that they had no medical or
electronic knowledge. No Frequency
Instruments were presented or
demonstrated in court. The only medical
opinion offered by the State of
California came from Dr Paul Shea who
had been asked to evaluate a Frequency
Instrument by the Public Health
Department 2 months before the trial.
Shea admitted that he “never tried (it)
or made tests to evaluate it. He simply
examined it and decided that it had no
curative powers and didn't lend itself
to investigative use". Ben Cullen
related an interesting occurance during
the trial. Verne Thompson was called to
testify and the prosecution asked him
some questions about Crane's device.
They asked, "Was it any good?" and
Thompson said, "No, it was not any good,
it was just a fake." When Thompson came
off the witness stand, Cullen beckoned
him over and said to him, "For goodness
sakes, now you knew the value of those
little black boxes. They were properly
calibrated for certain conditions. Why
did you lie that way?" Thompson replied,
"I have a job to protect." And Cullen
said, "For goodness sakes alive, you
mean to say you would lie and send a man
over the road, to protect your job?"
Thompson said, "I have a family." The
trial lasted 24 days and Crane and Marsh
were both found guilty and were
sentenced to 10 years in prison. Later
on appeal to the State Supreme Court,
two of the three counts against Crane
were reversed "because no specific
criminal intent had been proven". After
the trial, Stafford was so pressurized
by the authorities that he gave up
medicine.
Using his time in prison
constructively, Crane studied law and
was successful in obtaining an early
release for both himself and Marsh.
Crane and Marsh spent a total of three
years and one month in jail. When Crane
was released from prison in 1964 on
parole, he was watched closely by the
San Diego police. On at least one
occasion, after attending a meeting of
the early San Diego Cancer Control
Society, he was arrested by the police
and taken to jail for violating his
parole conditions by attending such a
meeting. Although the “Rife Cancer Cure”
was in a shambles, Crane vowed to begin
the fight all over again.

After their release from prison in
1964, Crane and Marsh continued to
collaborate together on their Rife work,
but they were forced to work separately
so as not to violate the the terms of
their parole conditions. During December
1964 Crane met Ron G Rockwell who
began to work with Crane building Rife
Frequency Instruments. (SIDE
NOTE: we used to Crane & Rockwell's original Rife
machine back in 1999.)
In October 1965, Crane submitted an
application to the California Board of
Public Health for approval of the
Frequency Instrument. The application
was made in the name of the Rife Virus
Microscope Institute, of which John
Crane was stated to be the President.
Sometime in late 1965, Rife returned
from Mexico but remained in the
background. On 17th November, the
California Board of Public Health
replied that Crane must first show the
instrument to be effective in use before
they will grant any approvals. Dr
Charles W Bunner, a Chiropractor, agreed
to provide "proof of effectiveness."
Shortly thereafter, officials from the
California Board of Public Health
visited Bunner and forbade him to use
the instrument. They also presented him
with a court order to have the
instrument destroyed. Dr Les Drown,
another Chiropractor, provided Crane
with a statement regarding the
effectiveness of the instrument. Drown
was then “forced” by an American Cancer
Society representative to surrender his
Frequency Instrument or go to jail.
On 4th March 1968 for the sum of
$500, Rife signed over ownership of the
rights of invention of his microscope to
Crane. It was stated in the Assignment
of Invention that Crane intended to
patent the Rife microscope and that Rife
would give all assistance for Crane to
obtain the patent. Rife already had
considered the Frequency Instrument to
be jointly owned by himself and Crane
because of all the work that Crane had
done on it.
During 1970, Crane continued to seek
funding for research and applied to the
National Cancer Institute, the
Rockefeller Foundation and others for
financial aid and support.
On
10th October 1972,
Ron Rockwell (our
friend) was officially appointed as the
Chief Engineer and Machinist for the
Rife Virus Microscope Institute.
In 1973, Crane again tried to patent
the Frequency Instrument. Here are some
extracts from the patent application:
"It has
been well known by Rife, myself and others that a
specific cancer virus causes the cancer which was
long ago isolated by Royal R. Rife and cancer was
cured by Rife in animals and in clinical tests with
people and was published by the Smithsonian Report
for 1944 on pages 193-220 as written by R. E.
Seidel, M.D. (and see U.S. Government Printing
Office Publication No. 3781 which has 5 plates of
Rife’s microscopes). It was observed that
electromagnetic energy utilizing a frequency of 2127
cycles per second modulated on a carrier wave of
4150 kilocycles (4.15 Mhz) at 200 watts was lethal
to cancer. Such virus as cancer and other viruses
such as tuberculosis, typhoid, polio and many others
are a threat to health in water. A great many other
viruses have been destroyed by subjecting them to
transmitted electromagnetic energy of frequencies,
which are resonant or harmonic with such virus. The
precise frequency required for their demise and
control is set forth in the following table: Tetanus
120 cps (cycles per second or hertz), treponema 660
cps, gonorrhoea 712 cps, typhoid 712 cps,
staphylococci 728 cps, pneumonia 776 cps,
streptothrix 784 cps, bacillus coli rod 800 cps,
tuberculosis rod 803 cps, streptococci 880 cps,
tuberculosis virus 1552 cps, sarcoma virus 2008 cps,
carcinoma virus 2127 cps.
Fig. 32 is
an electronic diagram of the direct contact
Frequency Instrument used to devitalize virus,
bacteria, worms, and fungi in the animal and human
body.
-
(1) Square Wave Range = 60 to 30 KHz
-
(2) Output Voltage at 10K ohms and higher = 14 volts
-
(3) Rated Output Power = 100 milliwatts into rated
load (10 volts across a 1000 ohm resistive load)
The circuit is described as an
audio square wave generator. It consists of a vacuum tube oscillator of
the resistance-capacitance type. It consists of a two tube oscillator
that oscillates at the resonant frequency of the Wien Bridge frequency
determining network inserted in the feedback path. The oscillator is
coupled to a cathode follower amplifier that acts as an isolation stage
and as a power amplifier. The square wave is formed by a dual clipping
circuit that is inserted between the oscillator and the cathode follower
stage for square wave stage output. The tube type audio square wave
oscillator can be replaced by a transistor type circuit.
Figure 33 is an electronic diagram
of the Ray Tube Frequency Instrument, which consists of a
Hartley Oscillator modulated with a square wave generator. The
RF energy level is in excess of 8000 volts and the ray tube is
generally filled to 15mm of helium gas after thorough evacuation
providing a brilliant pink discharge glow when activated as an
antenna to transmit audio frequencies. The unit has been
supplemented with a Frequency Counter to monitor the critical
resonant frequencies induced from the variable oscillator.
The specifications are for
my experimental model No. AZ-58:
- (1) Audio range = 50 to 6000 Hz

In 1978, Crane published a report titled
"Electron Therapy Research".
In October 1979,
Ronald Rockwell
was appointed as the Chief
Engineer of the John F Crane Corporation, which was
now the name of Crane's company. The address of the
company was still shown to be the same address that
was used by Life Labs Inc and the Rife Virus
Microscope Institute. At about this same time, John
Marsh ended his association with Crane. Marsh and
Crane had always had strained relationship, mainly
because Marsh felt that Crane never gave him
sufficient credit for the work that he had done on
the Rife Instruments. Marsh had concentrated on the
ray tube instruments because he thought that they
worked better, while Crane devoted all of his
energies to the contact pad devices. Before he died
in 1987, Marsh entrusted his collection of
documents, photos, audio tapes & films to the nurse
who was taking care of him. After Marsh's death, the
nurse passed Marsh's Rife collection to Jeff Garff.

In 1984, John Bedini and Dr Robert Strecker, who
had both developed an interest in Rife's work,
visited John Crane at his home. Bedini, who is an
audio engineer, scientific researcher and inventor,
had expertise in the field of Audio Power
Amplifiers, 3D sound processors, non linear pulse
energy circuits, and AM/FM transmitters and wished
to find out how the Rife Frequency devices worked.
Strecker, a gastroenterologist with a Ph.D. in
pharmacology, was particularly interested in wanting
to get the Rife microscope to work and would culture
bacteria and different viruses to assist Bedini in
his research to see if Rife technology worked.
Initially, Crane was offered money for all the
documents & Rife equipment that he had. Crane was
eager to accept the money, since he had many debts,
but he refused to sell any of the original Rife
equipment. Therefore Bedini & Strecker proposed that
Crane should come and work for them and that in
exchange Crane would be looked after and all of his
debts would be paid. Crane agreed to this
arrangement and allowed Bedini and Strecker full
access to all of the Rife documents and equipment.
Crane had the Rife No.3 Microscope, an AZ-58 machine
and many other bits & pieces that Rife had passed
onto him. Both men found that it was difficult to
work with Crane, especially since Crane would often
appear to be secretive and vague and he often did
things without their knowledge and consent. The
working relationship was strained and full of
mistrust, while Bedini and Strecker tried to convert
Crane's theoretical Rife knowledge into practical
results. Although they found Crane to be very
knowledgeable about much of Rife's work, Bedini came
to realize that Crane did not know or fully
understand the exact design details and working
principles of Rife's original frequency instruments.
Crane had the AZ-58 and simple square wave
generators, but during the early tests done with
them, under Crane's guidance, none of those devices
would destroy any microbes. After many hours of
questioning and discussions with Crane, Bedini
realized that the method of generation of the
frequencies was far more complex than what was
originally thought. Crane had built some very good
microscopes and was an excellent engineering
draughtsman and machinist, but that was where his
expertise ended. Bedini did not have much success
with getting the Rife microscope to work due to a
lack of knowledge of the details of its operation.
The work was also hampered because many of the
lenses and prisms were missing. Eventually the work
on the microscope ended when Barry Lynes and his
associates obtained a court order to take the
microscope away from Crane. It transpired that Crane
had previously concluded the sale of the instrument
to somebody, but had never given the instrument to
its new owner. However, Bedini continued with his
experiments with the Rife Frequency instruments.
This story was related by Bedini in a radio
interview on Jeff Rense's radio show in September
2006.
In February 1986, Barry Lynes wrote an article
titled "How the Cure for Cancer was Covered Up -
Treatment suppressed since 1930’s" in a Washington
D.C. newspaper called The Planet. The newspaper was
provided free to government officials and to
students and professors of the George Washington
University Medical School. Not one person was
motivated to investigate further. Lynes was
astounded by the total lack of response and so he
decided to write a book to expose the Rife story.
Lynes tracked down John Crane and persuaded Crane to
assist him with the book by providing all the
information that Crane possessed about Rife's work.
In April 1987, Lynes published his book titled "The
Rife Report: The Cancer Cure that Worked! Fifty
Years of Suppression”. A short while after the book
was published, a lengthy document titled
The Crane
Report was compiled that detailed much of
Crane's involvement with the Rife instruments. It
seems that Crane was disappointed that Lynes had not
given Crane more exposure and credit in the book for
the work that Crane had done on the Rife
Instruments. The document appears to have been
written by someone with legal and patent experience,
although Crane obviously must have provided all of
the information. Later that same year, no doubt
encouraged by the new interest shown in Rife's work,
Crane again was preparing another patent application
regarding the Rife technology.
There are records that show that in 1988,
Crane had established a treatment clinic in Mexico
and was using contact pad electrode and
radio-frequency driven plasma lamp instruments to
provide cancer treatment. On one video which Crane
produced, a patient in a hospital in Mexico is seen
with a plasma lamp machine, and is thanking Crane –
she says that the machine had saved her life from
cancer and had relieved her of pain. She had been
told, at a major health facility in Western Los
Angeles, that she would have be on chemotherapy for
the rest of her life, but after having treatment
from the Rife-Crane machine, her tumours had healed,
and she felt great.
In 1989, Crane combined all of his notes and
information into a single book that he titled
“Polarity Research Manual”.
On 21st December 1991, Crane granted to
Rockwell, by a Special Power of Attorney, all the
rights of ownership of the AZ-58 frequency
instrument together with all of his research and
equipment. Rockwell formed a company called the Rife
Research Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada and he
undertook to revive Rife’s work in accordance with
modern scientific methods. A few years later
Rockwell renamed his company as Rockwell Scientific
Research L.L.C
For some reason, in 1992, Crane decided to
file a class action against the US authorities. In
an affidavit dated 7th June 1992, Crane claimed that
he was a private Attorney with over 20 years of
litigation experience. In addition he stated that he
had worked as an engineer in the "aerospace"
industry and spent 14 years learning aerospace
trades and journeyman procedures. He also claimed to
have graduated from the Sequoia Research Institute
in September 1972 and stated that he had
subsequently worked as a professor at the Sequoia
University. In the same affidavit, Crane made some
wild and exaggerated remarks regarding Rife's career
from 1914 to 1939. Crane stated that Rife was
"trained by the US Secret Service in Europe.....to
catch saboteurs in Europe in optics by Kark [sic]
Zeizz [sic] Corp and other chemical labs having been
trained in the USA, Germany, Austria, Switzerland
and Belgium in connection with said investigation
and training." It is not known how far this legal
attempt went, but it marked a sad and pathetic end
to Crane's career.
At least up until 1965, Crane must be given
full credit for reviving much of Rife’s work and
trying to improve the Frequency Instrument. However,
Crane was not a skilled electronics engineer and
often produced confusing information regarding the
Rife type devices that his company produced (or was
he smoke-screening or purposely trying to mislead
others so that the “secrets” of Rife would not be
able to be copied?). Despite Crane’s assistance in
providing much of the information that led to the
publication of “The Rife Report: The Cancer Cure
That Worked! Fifty Years of Suppression” written by
Barry Lynes, in an additional chapter (pages 135 to
136) added to the book in 1997, Lynes is very
critical of Crane’s handling of the Rife affair.
This is an extract from Lynes' book:
"Crane
collected and preserved the record of Rife’s work
and never quit when the going got tough, as many
others did. But it is also important to acknowledge
that Crane was in many ways inadequate to the task
he assumed. He did not have the management or
political skills, which Dr Milbank Johnson had
demonstrated, and was not able to “bring aboard” the
qualified scientists, businessmen, financiers and
attorneys who could have altered the course of
medical history. Unfortunately, Crane managed to
antagonize many of the professionals who offered
help, and his efforts to legitimize the Rife
instruments in the 1950’s were not as professional
as they might have been. Crane bore the brunt of the
medical, political and legal opposition to the Rife
legacy, and he became bitter. He wasted years filing
ill-advised lawsuits against the State of
California, Vice president Nelson Rockefeller and
some fifty-two other persons and organizations.
Acting as his own lawyer, Crane launched attacks
that were a mishmash of accusations and
citations.... In 1959, a year before the authorities
struck, Crane was demanding $150 million from
interested investors - an unusually high amount for
the time. Interested investors apparently existed,
but they evidently did not view Crane as a person to
whom serious seed money should be advanced, no
matter how brilliant or profitable Rife’s scientific
genius. Following Rife’s death in 1971, Crane
continued to attract interested investors, but no
agreements were concluded. From 1984 to 1988, Rife’s
Universal Microscope passed through the hands of
several groups and individuals who undertook to
restore it, but no progress was made towards this
goal. A federal legal action had to be initiated in
order to have it returned, finally, to its
legitimate owners – Rife Labs, a company formed to
revitalize Rife’s work in accordance with modern
scientific methods.... A great deal of the failure
to resurrect Rife’s discoveries and inventions in a
way that would bring them into mainstream acceptance
and utilization for countless people can be
attributed to Crane’s greed, ego and obstructionism.
He and a cohort of cronies, crooks and low-lifes who
surrounded him during the period 1987 – 1995 tried
to exploit (Lynes) book for their own gain, in a way
which did not serve the larger public interest, but
utterly failed (indeed, did not even attempt) to
corroborate Rife’s findings.... Crane died with a
reputation for dishonest dealings. He had given the
world a precious gift – preserving Rife’s
accomplishment – but he apparently never
comprehended his own greater obligations, and could
never rise above his own narrow self-interest in
order to accomplish objectives which clearly could
have been attained through righteous dealings.”
After working with Crane in the mid 1980's,
John Bedini was also critical of Crane's honesty &
motivation. Much of what Lynes had said about Crane
was confirmed first hand by Bedini during his
association with Crane.
Crane died on 5th June 1995 in San Diego.
