There has been much recent interest in directly measuring the electric dipole moments (EDM) of the proton and the electron. Such a measurement will require storing a polarized beam of "frozen spin" particles in an all-electric storage ring. Only one such relativistic electric accelerator has ever been built---the "Electron Analogue" ring at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1954. By chance this electron ring, long since dismantled, would have been appropriate both for measuring the electron EDM and to serve as an inexpensive prototype for the arguably more promising, but ten times more expensive, proton EDM measurement. Today it is cheaper yet to "resurrect" the Electron Analogue ring by simulating its performance computationally. This is one purpose for the present paper. To set up these calculations has required a kind of "archeological physics" to reconstitute the detailed Electron Analogue lattice design. The new UAL/ETEAPOT code, described in detail in an accompanying paper, has been developed for modeling storage ring performance, including (exact BMT) spin evolution, in electric rings. Illustrating its use, comparing its predictions with the old observations, and describing new expectations concerning spin evolution and code performance, are other goals of the paper. This paper describes the practical application of the ETEAPOT code and provides sample results, with emphasis on emulating lattice optics in the AGS Analogue ring for comparison with the historical maching studies and to predict the electron spin evolution they would have measured. To exhibit the ETEAPOT code performance and confirm its symplecticity, results are also given for 30 million turn proton spin tracking in an all-electric lattice that would be appropriate for a present day measurement of the proton EDM.

High Precision Fundamental Physics Experiments at JLab with Spin-transparent Storage Rings of Low-energy Polarized Electron Beams
A compact all-electric Figure-8 spin-transparent storage ring at JLab could directly measure the electron EDM at about 5.8e-30 ecm and detect axion-induced spin precession at 0.2 nHz, if one-day spin coherence holds.
