I have this. It's not as interesting as you might hope, as it appears to be a planning document for the glyphs. It does contain some interesting historical information about old output devices, though.

You might be able to snag a free copy through a 10-day trial subscription to the NTRL: http://www.ntis.gov/products/ntrl.aspx

I don't think the original data file is available any more, though. The usenet distro from 1986 lives here: http://cd.textfiles.com/sourcecode/usenet/compsrcs/unix/volume04/hershey/
