Here are some key facts extracted from the text:
1. The text is about a series of experiments conducted by Dr. Gears on SCP-914, a machine that can transform objects and living beings in different ways.
2. SCP-914 has a selection panel with five options: Rough, Coarse, One-to-One, Fine, and Very Fine. Each option has a different effect on the input.
3. SCP-914 has two booths connected by copper tubes: the Intake booth where the input is placed, and the Output booth where the result is released.
4. SCP-914 does not require any power source and has about 8 million moving parts. It is similar to machinery from the Industrial Revolution, but more complex and anomalous.
5. SCP-914 conserves the mass of the input and does not transmute elements. It can however create new substances or devices with anomalous properties.
6. SCP-914 was tested on various objects and living beings, such as steel, watches, phones, revolvers, mice, chimps, and humans.
7. The results of the tests varied depending on the setting and the input. Some examples are: steel screws, an iPhone, an energy weapon, a smart chimp, a pile of metal and gas, and a nightmarish creature.
8. The testing resulted in several casualties, injuries, memory loss, and property damage caused by the outputs of SCP-914.
9. Biological testing on SCP-914 was forbidden without direct authorization from O5 command after the incident with the human subject on Very Fine setting.
10. The text ends with a warning about the potential danger of using SCP-914 on other SCPs.
