Intellectual Property Intellectual Property reversionary rights 1911 Act 1911 Act

I am trying to answer on the development of reversionary rights from the 1911 Copyright Act, but can't find a plain English explanation. Is/was the rule that if the author assigned the work to someone else it would revert back to their estate 25yrs after their death? I also read it wasn't possible for them to do do this within their lifetime, but don't see how else it could occur.
