Actual paper did exist but no one has a copy anymore according to the contacted author. It was an internal Xerox memo.

FWIW, I do now have a copy. I'm unsure of the copyright status so I'm a bit reluctant to share it.

I can totally understand that, but at the same time I'd really love to have a look at that as well. Maybe you could reach out to archive.org and see if they'd be interested in hosting a copy?

Congratulations! How did you end up getting the copy?

Also, maybe university libraries and/or Archive.org could help you with the copyright question?

A commenter on my blog made contact with someone who had a copy.
