As mentioned, I found it in a section of the Vestal Press Duo-Art
collection binder.  It is mentioned in the first manual therein:
'Duo-Art preliminary Instruction and Adjustment Manual'.  It is not
mentioned in any of the other documentation I have collected over
the years.

For correctness, we should mention the split point in piano notes
[of the 88-note keyboard] only.  This applies the same to any number
of notes in the stack.  The split is between notes 43 and 44.  This is
equal to a total of 43 notes in the left half and 45 in the right half.
The notes in question where the split is, is apparently D# and E.

Perhaps you can verify your findings once more?

Kind regards,
