John Callarman would be the best person to answer the question but, to my recollection, Gordon did not use any phasing equipment at either of his residences in Watertown, MA. To digress a bit, he & Ruth first rented an apartment at 19 Irma Ave and then later bought a house at 48 Hardy Ave - both in Watertown. Cambridge was just the location of the PO box (and of course MIT!) He definitely had his large (4 feet per side I believe) altazimuth loop very prominently displayed in his den or dining room at 19 Irma Ave when I met him in 1969. Most of his DX equipment was later destroyed by fire at the 48 Hardy Ave location, circa 1972. He didn't talk much about the NH Beverage experiments, at least not to me. He was, after all, working for the Government out of Hanscom AFB in Bedford, MA.
