This quick note written between other papers dated from 1996 shows the possibility of placing a the 13 limit with the harmonic and subharmonic series within a single 12 tone series. Placed at the distance of the 15 means that both series also have the 15th of their series. The idea of placing these two series apart like this can be seen on page 15 of http://anaphoria.com/earlylattices12-.pdf
That scale of Gary David illustrates 2 harmonic and 2 subharmonic 9 limit pentads with 12 tones. He was the first to point out the use of the 15 as a mirror point with 12 tone scales which here we can see is applied in a slightly different way.
A presentation of documents of Erv Wilson that don't lend themselves to a separate section in the archives yet are illuminating in their thought or implications. Often comprised of sketches or notes found among his papers

Hexany as a 12 tone meeting place
Here Wilson worked out the possibility of using a Hexany as a meeting place between a harmonic and subharmonic series having no tones in common. the Second example here shows the two complementary series this time up the the 13 (or 15) (sub)harmonics still limited to 12 tones.
