The model appears too small to accommodate two people. In my head the photographs show something akin to the size of a paperweight, but it is obviously far larger. What a wonderful experience for you dear GA! I fully understand why this is not accessible to the public but perhaps a Virtual Reality tour would be a good substitute. Fascinating, thanks GA.

Probably nothing is known of them, but if the records show who they were it would be appropriate for their names to be visible somewhere in the vicinity.
