It includes some "making of" footage (around 1:30) and some other early experiments. Read more at nerdplusart.com/??p=1106.

All that data for just a hand. That's pretty amazing. Someone had to come up with the first one. Gratz to Ed.

OFN. I definitely posted this here back in 1972 when it was actually new news.
