  This harmonic condenser enginium (the Mole) they caused
  to be worked from a magazine battery (called the Mimmim
  Bimbim patent number 1132, Thorpetersen and Synds,
  Jomsborg, Selverbergen) which was tuned up by twintriodic
  singulvalvulous pipelines (lackslipping along as if their
  liffing deepunded on it) with a howdrocephalous enlargement,
  a gain control of circumcentric megacycles ranging from
  the antidulibnium onto the serostaatarean.

Mr. Neuendorffer (neufer) is quoting from Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (his final novel according to Wikipedia)... I think what Mr. Neuendorffer is telling us here is that sometimes we run out of words and are only left with our thoughts. And sometimes our thoughts are mere ramblings of a meandering mind (such as my own) as such inspired by images like the elliptical galaxy in reference... Anyway, just a guess on my part

While I can understand some of the "ramblings of a meandering mind", when it involves someone's own personal made-up vocabulary*, I'm not sure it's just as simple as someone's "meandering mind". I'm lost trying to read this.
*And by that I mean that sometimes words fail me, too, but I don't make up words to try and convey my thoughts. Maybe reading up on James Joyce will give some clarity.....

BBL, I've got lots of reading to do!

Close enough... 08/02/13 was John Dreyer's 156th birthday. Dreyer was the director of Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland from 1882 to 1916. His major contribution was the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, whose catalogue numbers (e.g., NGC 1132) are still in wide use today.

James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1882 and wrote his first novel in 1916: _A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man _. For reasons not entirely clear 1132 was an important number in his last novel Finnegans Wake.
