Excellent point, Jim. Thanks for the link. Yes, if you scroll down and click on the Chinese Temple drawing, you get a pretty good representation (although in fairly low resolution) of how the drawing compares now to Steve's in 1959.
The drawings on that web page were all made from the current output, following the 2007 restoration. Thanks for thinking of this link and sharing it. For those who haven't seen it's inner workings in action, the 72 cams that rotate together inside the cabinet when the figure is drawing, and the motors that drive them, are very much like music box mechanism.
