I had some free time today and was able to get them documented in a PDF for posterity. All the hard work was done by @k morita and others on the board here already. Any errors or omissions are my own.

This is to supplement the information provided by Slough san on page 211.  On this page he mentions a 1943 book by Hagio Takahashi entitled Nihon Kendō oyobi Tōken.  Below is the citation for this 255 page book.
