Jeremy11 not only included a 2 page explanation of the Design Process, Constraints and Vision for this cam (Warning- PDF!), but also attached a handy laminated leaflet directly to the cam itself. In the interest of brevity I'll only quote the leaflet:
In reply to: "Top Secret Cam Prototype Version 2.1" By Cleaveland Mountaineering in collaberation with Big Nut Pro 1.88:1 Range with only a 14 degree spiralEight 5/16" wide lobes means greater soft rock holding powerHighly walk resistantGunks Tie-off-only minimizes leverageCaptive trigger wires for smooth, tangle-less operationErgonomically machined trigger barLike automatically, perfectly and instantly equalizing two cams!
If you think this is interesting, you may want to take a look at Greg Lowe's patent 4645149. Similar idea but with all eight lobes on a single axle.
