Saruman's Machinery:
Saruman specific. Playable, if you are Saruman, on your protected Isengard or your protected The White Towers. One Technology item is playable at the site during your site phase whether the site is tapped or untapped. Discard when this site is discarded or returned to your location deck. Cannot be duplicated on a given site.
Earth-Eater
Technology. Playable during the site phase if one of your companies enters the Deep Mines site and you have more Delver's Harvest cards in play than you have Earth- eater cards. Tap Earth-eater to take a minion non-unique weapon/armor/shield/helmet major item from your sideboard or discard pile to your hand.
Does the making of Earth-Eater playable at a Protected Isengard by Saruman's Machinery allow me to ignore the requirement of "more Delver's Harvest than Eater-Eater cards in play" in the playability condition on Earth-Eater itself?

No.
Just because Earth-Eater is not an item.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

F. I should've seen that one myself.
