You open the door and move west (into Room 32b). This one is identical to the room in 32d except that it points south.
There are two differences to this room:
1) There is a trough-like wooden ramp to the south of the west and east doors. (You are at east door.) It has about a five inch bed and is angled down so that it drops right where the door opens. There is a long piece of twine leading from the inside handle of the door to a small piece of wood -- let's call it the "gate." When the door is opened, the gate slides down and along the underside of the trough. It is spring loaded, so the gate returns to normal position when the door is shut. The ramp appears somewhat makeshift, and is not part of the original construction of the temple.
2) The room in 32d had the number 486267825798 on the transfinite repeater display (the 12 digit odomoter-like device). The one in the original room on the previous day had the numbers: 742138703546.
This room has the numbers: 487167825798. (I.e., it is the same as 32d except the "71" in the middle.) As you are watching, the third and fourth numbers (71) are gradually going up (to 72, then 73, etc.).
Here is a repeat of the room description:
The north side of the wall has carved out of it an octagonal shaped indenture, from which a mechanism sticks out (parabolic dish). The mechanism consists of a parabolic dish carved and smoothed out of the face of an octagonal block of granite, all mounted inside a framework with eight metal tracks. A large, screwlike device moves the granite block along these tracks. At the front of the tracks, eight rods hold a crystal in place in front of the granite dish. The crystal pulsates with light.
On the wall adjacent to the crystal focus device, you see another 12 digit display (transfinite repeater display).
