I believe RD10 doc is on the (LCG) field service microfiche set. 
My copy is at CHM.

I took a stab at OCR & failed.  Google can't deal with it at all. 
Neither can several of the free on-line services.  (Google is usually
the quickest way to OCR - anything you upload to a google drive is
OCRd.  Well, it tries.

Will take someone with time to train, tweak and correct - and commercial
software.  I know some on this list have ABBYY...

I noticed that there are actually two files in the PDF, from two
different dates, printed on two different KA10 systems.
The first from 3-oct-72 on system 246.  The second from 15-apr-73 on
system 169.  Both running a 504Amonitor and LPTSPL V4 - long before
GALAXY came to pass.   (And if I can get those sources off 'my' tapes at
CHM, that's before the batch sources were converted to lowercase
comments.  What a joy that was for SOUPing in local patches...)

(Yes, DEC ran the company on PDP-10s for many years.)
