Many thanks for this, Laura—totally new to me, and fascinating stuff, too.

Greatly appreciated, and all best,

Greg

If so, the answer is no, but there is a dense document created by Tony Conrad in the Vasulka Archive in which  he worked out the specs for the system. I believe Tony and Woody we’re going to collaborate on the construction of this system.

I don't remember seeing the set up, but it could have been shot with an animation stand or taped to a wall. This doesn't address the question about a device Woody made for Paul.
