The "August Weiss Files" I refer to in our book were given to me by Prof. Dr. Rolf Gminder. He received them from August Weiss, a few months before Mr. Weiss passed away in 1980. As Mr. Weiss had no notes about the Riff contract in his dairies, it might well be that Görtz - Sturgess did not have this information.

Actually, it is discussed as i remember seeing it, but not in the depth of your book. There is more info on 'blank toggles' and that is all that is mentioned.

The lack of a time line order of items makes some things hard to find.
