Super speaker cloth Gary - as you say in the article, it looks like ripples on water, so was very apt.
Fretwork was of course extremely popular in the late 1800s early 1900s - Hobbies of Dereham being the largest manufacturer of fretwork machines in the world. Their catalogues contained plans and kits for radios (or rather 'wirelesses' as they were then called) and speakers, using fretwork cabinets. Their 1929 catalogue had instructions and plans to build the 'Hobbies Three'. No doubt F.J. Camm had a hand in that - he was editor of the Hobbies Annual for some years from 1925. In later years, F.G. Rayer was behind many of the Hobbies Weekly radio designs.
