Is the book you mention a soft-cover edition with a grey paper
cover and blue printing on the outside?

I seem to remember seeing this book in my library, but it and
the library are 300 miles away at present.

If I remember correctly, IBM issued this book to 
CE's when they qualified on the Tektronix scopes we
used for looking at gate pulses.

We started out with 565A's, which were real boat anchors
to shlep to customer locations along with tools and 
parts.

We then went to Tek 465A's, and the IBM editions had
metal screens over the CRT's. These instruments had
bags for the probes and manuals on top and an engraved
"Property of IBM" right below the camera bezel.
