Equal Beating, what does it mean?

[Brian Henselman]

I thought in equal temperament that the Major 3rd (C4 to E4) should beat at
approximately the same speed as the Major 6th (Bb3 to G4).

In your scenario, if this Major 3rd (C to E) is beating as fast a the Major
6th (C to A), then it is probably too fast, or the Major 6th (C to A) is
beating too slow, or you are referring to some temperament other than equal
temperament.

I hope this helps.  Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the article that
you are seeking.

Cheers,
Brian Henselman, RPT
