Details of the circuitry.  Unfortunately, this project was NOT continued in any of the remainder of 1941 issues, and I have not been able to find any 1942 or 1943 issues to date.  I think 60 years and various "paper drives" during the war years and later,  have taken their toll on available copies.  If someone has copies of the rest of this project and would like to share this information, please contact me.
