So, according to a testimony of the time (press article on the Universal Exposition of 1967), Picault made a killing by making framebacks, which were far less expensive in terms of costs of materials.
But clearly, what we know as a frameback is a very thin piece of metal in a metal frame, something which needs absolulty no grinding in my understanding.
But here, the piece of metal is 1/16 thick, and therefore, ground. It's quite flabbergasting, a first in my experience.
