I wonder if it's not simply a matter of a stereo spread control as one would 
get with an stereo to MS to stereo conversion, where in the MS state, one can 
vary the width of the stereo signal.

If we don't assume that someone tries to spread a mono signal, but has a stereo 
signal and is simply playing with the focus of that signal for artistic effect, 
then that may work.

It would also explain the knob I remember seeing on some old tube radio, where 
there was a balance wheel and a plenum knob. Been ages, though, so I wouldn't 
vouch for remembering this perfectly correctly.

So it would be equivalent to what some mixing desks have: a stereo width 
control, and a left-right control, that would be consistent with what the 
passage says about controling the movement between the spakers (left right 
control) and point to plenum (stereo width control).

That would be my best guess, unless someone comes up with a better reading.
