I've uploaded the files (and some notes for interpretation) to Dropbox and 
hopefully you will have received a link? (I used a contact email from an 
old paper that is hopefully still valid!).

Please let me know if you're unable to access the files / if you need any 
further files/info

Thanks
Pete
