The article goes on to recommend type A film for this exercise. It's not stated how much color correction was applied for the magazine article.

Thanks for posting. I have this article on my website here:http://www.visions4.net/journal/chromatron/

If you scroll further down, you will see a series of screenshots from the first color broadcast in the U.S. Do you know what field sequential television these were shot from?
