Thanks. much appreciated. it is a tertiary source and has to be treated as an uncritical summary of the literature at the time. In fact, it was an MA thesis from NYU that somehow got published without being reviewed for such errors in the days when BAR was not very selective.

I can make scans of the sketches at least (too many pages to do whole thing).
