There is an awful lot of information in the original Nimslo patent 
application. I'm pretty sure it was granted to Nims and Lo, from 
someplace in Georgia.

As I remember, the emulsion is on the flat side of the lenticular material,
the exposure is through the lenses, then the material is developed, then a
backing is painted on the flat side. It seems to me that the machinery
looked complicated.

I don't have my notes handy, but if you're interested, mail me directly and 
I'll try to dig out the references.
