 Examples are: Tukey-Duckworth two sample test, and the quadrant sum
 test for association (Omstead and Tukey).

 Are there others and is there a reference or source for these types of
 procedures?


The stem-and-leaf plot springs to mind.

There are lots of this sort of thing in Tukey's EDA book (which I find
pretty
unreadable).

I would start with the  much  more readable
Data Analysis and Regression: A Second Course in Statistics

One of my favorites is "Table Polishing" or "Median Polishing", discussed
in Tukey  Mosteller's "Green Book", Data Analysis and Regression.
