Mark,
As I recall the info was in the book.
Just checked, in the 'notes' at the back he writes, Rolleiflex, Tri-X at 
160 ASA or 80-125 for dark skins, Dev. in UFG (whatever that brand is - 
ultra fine grain?) for 3-5 mins at 68 F.

And ha! There is a Leica connection, he used a home made tripod featuring a 
(maybe Leitz) Tiltall head! Spectra light meter, printing from a condenser 
head on a Simmons Omega DV2 enlarger onto Dupont Velour black paper.

Enough? That's all there is on the tech stuff.

best regards,
Jem
