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
