At the time I thought I knew of another photographer who might have
used a similar process and I wanted to check original source material
before I sent the letter. Well, I got busy with freelance work and
never got back to the letter. In retrospect I wish I had sent it
since I have seen repeated references in a number of photography mags
crediting Lam with inventing the process.

You are, no doubt, correct. I got the reference to Cordier's
Chemigram process from the _Camera_Arts_ article - before I purchased
certain encyclopedia (additional plug - no xtra charge :*).
