OK Chuck.
We can take a look at the Scientific American Ameteur Scientist.
I have that series of articles somewhere in a reprint collection - how
to build nitrogen CO2 lasers and tunable dye lasers from scratch, then
how to make holograms and lissajous patterns with modified speakers
and function generators. I always wanted to build the lissajous rig,
but never got past the component collecting stage. These days, with
Aug 1980, page 158, sounds like the second article you refer to:
attaching mirrors to two speakers oriented at angles to each other, etc.
(The same issue has an opened disk drive on the cover and an article about
disk drive technology.)
