What's really needed is the original academic paper that documented everything. He agreed with another poster that it is hard to tell how accurate the drawing is to the grill as described. It could just be an "artist's rendering" for a magazine that leaves a (devilish) detail out.
I asked and he said you could simplify it to being "just flat slats", but he would not expect it to perform as well.

In my spare time( what a joke!) I'll go the the SAE website archive and see if maybe Ford presented a paper at that years SAE Congress or Symposium.The auto makers are usually pretty good about doing this sort of thing.We might see an academic paper yet.Good call by your dad.
