Also go to the IBM Patent Server - you can follow a link from www.IBM.com.
They go back to the 70's and usually diagrams and drawings are also
available. What's more, you can search by number, patent holder, assignee,
etc. Once you find something interesting, you will see what the specific
patent references. This is usually other patents. Go to those patents, and
there might be additional references.

Good Luck, patent searching is a hoot.
