Chapter XI is mainly a proposal in the conditional mood. In Lutz's text of the chapter (lines 4097-4371) 'would' occurs 32 times, 'could' 21 and 'will' 9, and there are 0 footnote anchors. The statements that report existing practice or history are few: Demeny's lip-reading apparatus (a note of 1892 appears only in the illustration credit), Desvignes' 1860 steam-engine pictures ('is recorded', no citation), animated maps 'frequently' used with news reels, educational/travel/scenic films shown in theatres (live photography), stencil tinting of photographic film, and a caption on drawings used in making a gasoline-engine film. None of these reports an animated educational film's audience, learning result or cost. An agent should therefore cite the proposals as Lutz's views, and the few reports as unreferenced assertions.
