Interlaced?
[edit]"The drawing immediately below shows how these lines are to be drawn vertically, with staggered "interlace" to give the correct picture rendition."
I'm not sure what the author meant here with "staggered" or "interlace" but that's a TV-specific term which does not apply here. Usually it means that odd lines are rendered first into the frame, then the even lines in-between the previous ones. That's not the case here. Going back to the referenced article, the mention of interlace refers to a processing artifact but neither the author nor me are sure about that. I would vote remove the unsourced information, for now, e.g.: "The drawing immediately below shows how these lines are to be drawn vertically". Also, I would vote to rewrite the paragraph as it repeats "immediately below" several times.
Nickel plating between copper and gold
[edit]There is a layer of nickel between the gold and copper as confirmed here: [1] but it seems to be very uncommon knowledge. Chemically, you can't plate gold directly onto copper and need an intermediary like nickel. I'll add this fact to the manufacturing section to help spread the word and clear confusion.

were there any replicas ?
[edit]it seems natural they would have made some replicas that might now be sitting in the Smithsonian for example. Do any exist? 2600:1702:3B50:4680:B786:D054:C604:5926 (talk) 19:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
