Default Dr. Paul's solar prominence filter????

Does anyone know what happend to Dr. Henry Paul's solar prominence
filter as described in the ATM series of books, Book Three, I think. It was
made of a stack of quartz plates of various thicknesses. I wonder how this
type of device compares to modern day interference filters? I believe this
was called a Lyot Quartz Monochromator.
