If anybody is interested in what it was like to run a Hollywood research business in those days, there's a good documentary about one of Kellam's colleagues, Lillian Farber. She was married to Star Trek: TMP Production Designer Harold Michelson, and the film is called Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story. I enjoyed it. Her little research company was extremely similar to de Forest's.

Agreed! I watched the documentary and really enjoyed it.
