Anderson, K. A. and J. R. Winckler, Solar Flare X-Ray Burst on September 28, 1961, Journal of Geophysical Research, 67, 4103-4117 (1962) (ADS)
(click on the image for a larger version)
This cartoon resulted from (maybe) the second good observation of a
hard X-ray burst from a solar flare, following that of
Peterson and Winckler.
This one with had good microwave and meter-wave data as well and did a lot to
implicate type III bursts and particle beams in general.
The paper was therefore one of the fundamental observational ones in the
nascent fields of solar high-energy astrophysics and plasma astrophysics
Based on flare SOL1961-09-28, at the dawn of X-ray flare history,
the paper draws important conclusions about footpoint and coronal
relationships.
This cartoon possibly inspired the thick-target model, still
actively pursued although still just a 1D toy model.
To get a good feeling for the state of the art in this period of antiquity,
dig up a copy of the Goddard AAS-NASA conference proceedings SP-50 (1963).
It is full of wonderful papers, figures, and discussions by many legendary
people.
