The information indicates their address as:
ESCON Products, Inc.

I don't know that area, or if it is close to Walnut Creek.
The installation instructions detail how to install the magnets and wiring onto
a Selectric. Volume II contains the illustrations of the Selectric that go with
the installation instructions.
When I go back over (hopefully tomorrow), I'll check and see if any Selectrics
survived the dumpster.

There were no magnets in this package. I suspect if there was a
Selectric already prepared with the magnets, it got dumpstered before I
got a chance to check this stuff out.
that does not seem to be consistent with an electronic only, no mechanical
connection, system
You appear to be missing the other half of it, that connects to the
selectric
