I stand corrected.  You can't get it from the web.

However I believe that
ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/p1275/coredoc/1275-1994/1275.ps.gz is either

relating to the final ballot changes in adjacent directories.  Perhaps
these files were left there by mistake?

Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
