You are most welcome! I hope your grandfather's test reels have been preserved properly?
Here's U.S. patent 3.323.429 describing what seems to be the Spectarama lens.
They are, I watched them recently, but in silence, as the 16mm projector he also passed down doesn't have a functioning sound pickup.

Seems to be a pretty simple construction (just looked at it for a moment). Is it allowed to recreate it in 3D printing and screw it to a camera? Just to experiment ......
You could, the patent expired long ago. I was thinking of making an adapter for the lenses, which he also left to us. :)

John C. Howard died in Nov 1965, just after the X: Man with the X ray eyes was released. Other than a collection of test reels that John created when developing the Spectarama lens process, I am not aware of any other films that used his process.
I am his grandson. Sorry this is in English.

I hope your efforts to revive the Spectarama lens process has been successful. I've started a site to share Spectarama history and hopefully some new content as well. https://spectarama.com
