Eric, 

Harman asserts they're alone with baryta. 

Is some clay other than baryta used? 

Baryta's only advantage vs other clays(the reason Kodak used it for
Kodabromide)was its natural whiteness. It was called "pipeclay" in the
Royal Marines of the 18th century, used to whiten uniforms (just a tidbit)

The "fineness" would be irrelevant, since it's ground to whatever
degree is necessary.

If you know other papers that use clay, please name them. 

It'd be interesting to compare.
