1. Vol 1 The Projector and Its Colours What a Spectro-Chrome actually is — a thousand-watt lamp behind coloured glass — and the 'attuned color waves' system of twelve colours, element-organ mappings, and timed 'tonations' that Dinshah Ghadiali built around it.
2. Vol 2 What It Actually Did: Just Coloured Light The physics of the Spectro-Chrome — filtered visible light and nothing more — set beside the two narrow, genuine phototherapies it borrowed its credibility from: Finsen's ultraviolet lamp for lupus and modern blue-light treatment of newborn jaundice.
3. Vol 3 Dinshah Ghadiali and the Chromotherapy Tradition The man behind the Spectro-Chrome — his self-invented credentials, his institute at Malaga, New Jersey, and the older colour-cure lineage he inherited from Augustus Pleasonton's blue-glass craze and Edwin Babbitt's Principles of Light and Color.
4. Vol 4 The Trials and the Reckoning How the law caught up with the Spectro-Chrome — organized medicine's opposition, the 1931 Buffalo grand-larceny acquittal, the 1945–47 federal misbranding conviction that fined Ghadiali and his Institute about $20,000 and outlawed the device, its affirmance on appeal, and the 1958 injunction that finally shut the successor institute.
5. Vol 5 Collecting and the Color-Therapy Afterlife What survives of the Spectro-Chrome, how collectors identify and date a projector and its slide set, why the FDA seizure is the object's pedigree, and how chromotherapy persists today as wellness pseudoscience — displayed as history, never used as treatment.
