The attribution, date and ratio follow the original catalogue entry and have not been independently confirmed.

MoMA specifies seven 30-by-20-foot screens. The 4 + 3 layout is schematic, not a measured aggregate ratio. The diagram shows discrete screens; 6.65:1 from the prototype is preserved as its artistic trigger, not a verified installation ratio.
