Rob, Your mail reminds me that Prof. Fred Hartman was one of the two examiners for my Ph.D. thesis in 1972. I did my Ph.D. from the University of Udaipur, Udaipur, India. At that time the examination procedure a Ph.D. thesis was that, it was sent to examiners for evaluation. Out of the two, one examiner had to be from some country outside India.
I found some slips in the thesis written with a lead pencil containing his observations. These slips are still with me.

I have an old slide given to me by Dr. Fred Hartman when I was a student at OSU that also shows a similar situation. Fred also explained it as a chimera. Rob Robert M.
