Are you suggesting driving a synchronous motor with an amplified version of the
original frequency, and connecting that synchronous motor through a series of
gears to a group of generators? Once again, you would have a portamento effect,
but at least you could generate sine waves this way.

Somewhere, the ghost of Laurens Hammond is smiling at the thought of this.
