ARP came across a recent released video that has some interesting Paresev images:

ARP reports:

Some footage of the Parasev [sic, Paresev; both spellings are in literature] has come to light which is of interest. It shows the first version using a direct link control bar to the Rogallo wing before change to a conventional joy stick arrangement. Car towing is used at first and then air towing.

Editorial note: John Worth had direct link triangle control bar on Rogallo wing hang glider before Paresev. Also in 1908 the direct link triangle control bar was on a legally protected hang glider by W. Simon. Pseudo inventors would later try to claim invention of direct-link control bar.
