I think the Wurlitzer marketing team called this the "Duraphonic Multi-Radial Soundboard." I think it was just a 3-ply laminated board. I have heard Del Fandrich, however, extol the merits of an all-spruce laminate in which the three layers have their grain angles offset only slightly from each other, rather than 90 degrees.
