More on early history
Here's a comprehensive write up from 1928. This is a further development from 1929 (alternative source). This letter to the editor from 1947 clarifies that nothing progressed. Further discussions were had in 1955 (11 February and 18 February).  Schwede 66  04:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
