What the pages say
The writer says Meyer held an investor-seeking "Dealership Seminar" once a month in a wood-panelled meeting room at the Deer Creek State Park lodge, about forty miles south of Columbus, and describes attending one "last April": the audience waiting in the corridor, among them an elderly woman who said she was a longtime investor in the cell and had been told of it by her nephew; the theme from Twin Peaks on the hotel sound system; and Meyer arriving to set up a demonstration model of the cell, a large hollow plastic cylinder holding many metal rods. The second page has moved on to Yoshiro Nakamatsu, "Dr. NakaMats", and his first visit to Baltimore in November 1990, when the governor of Maryland proclaimed a day in his honour.
About these pages
The article is about more than one inventor, and Meyer is one of its set pieces. The Twin Peaks joke and the November 1990 Baltimore visit place it in 1991 or early 1992, which makes the seminar it describes April 1991 or April 1992. The archive's tape from the same lodge is Deer Creek State Park, transcribed. If you know the magazine, the archive would like to hear from you.
