Not really. They designed their process to be as practical and economical
as possible. Masking would have made their process a lot more expensive
because of enlarged separations through a carbon arc enlarger, etc., as
explained in you know who's books.

Actually, the inventor of the process was a genious but most of the
descendants brought no scientific approach to their problems.

And why not try to obtain secrets? What do you think I did? Notice I didn't
say "steal" secrets. There is a difference between "stealing" and
"acquiring." In the end I never *stole* anything but I got my hands on
everything... I succeded where many people, from the US, Britain, South
Africa and even India, among others, failed. They used money and brute
force and it didn't work. I used diplomacy, languages and perseverance and
I succeeded.
When you don't have any money, you'd better have lots of brains and lots of
patience or else you're not going anywhere;-)

You have the right to ask anything. Getting all the answers you want is not
guaranteed however.
