Good find Mr.Overscan

Do I see some of the Bill Slayton drawings ?

Yes, "Fatz" is a pseudonym for Bill Slayton.

The only complete compilation of Lockheed numbers that I know of was done some 20 or so years ago by a gent who, at that time, worked in their field service engineering. He had some articles on this subject in APR under his real name, Bill Slayton, and a larger number of articles in various IMPS/US chapter newsletters under the "handle" of "Fatz". As far as I know, he kept one copy of the compilation (I don't know what happened to it after his death) and one went to the Lockheed-California library and they've no idea of where it is now or if they still have it.

Since we are mortals, publishing or sharing seems to be the future to allow precious information survive forever.
