This is very interesting as I never knew that. I don't know if this was
mentioned in Luis's book at all. I will have to read again this weekend.

Was this a monochrome or color paper? I am interested to know (or to guess
anyway) whether the multilayer is only for tone control or whether they have
found a way of coating separate color layers and then expose and process all 4
colors at the same time. That would have been pretty advanced in their time,
wouldn't it?
