I've seen claims that "the complete process" is explained in such and such
a publication, probably cited along with much else on the topic in the
early list archive. I certainly remember Luis Nadeau's description of
buying the secrets from whatshisname (Escoffier, n'est-ce pas?) and why he
doesn't do it (likely story, but aren't they all?! Short form is new
technology might make that an unlikely business to enter.)
One point to add to the above, perhaps, is that development originally was
with sawdust slurry... boxwood, or maybe pear wood, accoustically, if
not physically, indistinguishable.
