remains stationary on the Earth's surface;
becomes unaccountably invisible and intangible (the explanation given does not make sense);
experiences extreme time dilation while inaccurately describing this as acceleration through time.
While traveling through space, the Leonora Christine:
traverses billions of light years;
becomes contracted, massive and time dilated.
There are similarities between Wellsian time travel and relativistic space travel.

Kaor, Paul!
And even in a story as early and, it has to be admitted, rather crudely written as "Flight to Forever" (1950), Anderson gives us a more scientifically plausible explanation of how a stationary time machine could pass thru time.
