The latter text also has some nice description of the transmission

Einstein's publication of the special theory,

I understand that Maxwell's Electromagnetic ether metaphor was a matrix of
coupled springs (vortices) of great stiffness.
He was said to have dismantled the scafolding of his model before
publishing the equations. He knew no vector algebra - so the equations
amounted ( if I recall) to seven, collected from the experimental work of
the electrical pioneers.
