I have a couple of books at home that were put together for a special 
exhibit on zeppelins at the Lakeview Museum of Arts and Sciences some 
years ago (possibly as many as 28) ( http://www.lakeview-museum.org/ ). 
  It was sponsored by Caterpillar (home office Peoria), and featured 
amazingly detailed drawings.  (Cat powers the NT, if I remember right, 
which would explain the connection.)

I'll try to remember to dig them out tonight to see if you might want a 
scan or two from them.

Metta,
Ivan
