Turn the upper dials to say STRAIGHT. "THE STRAIGHT DOPE" can be read on all
three rows. This will turn the lower belts to 97 05 09. Looking up that

The gears are intended to be in a 1:1 ratio, and yes while the letters
are oriented strangely, the letters are all in order for "THE" and
"DOPE."

The author of the article is a 5 5 designation and thus the answer is:

LEMMA

from the author...

James Leary

by matching the letters below the name to the 5 numbers below that.
