Ken, J. P. Daeschler has an interesting theory about Gordon's relationship with Dicksons. He believes that Dickson took advantage of Gordon and "suggested" some of the anachronistic creations that he ended up ordering. An interesting notion, for sure.
Gordon was an interesting guy, to say the least.
