I found some on Bitsavers.

"Illiac design techniques" (under univOfIllinoisUrbana/illiac/ILLIAC)
describes the basic logic elements, which are then just hooked
together as building blocks (And, Or, Not, and flip-flop).

Under ibm/sage there's a documents list -- only one of the documents
is actually there but a lot more are listed, including circuit
diagrams.  Maybe those are available...

There probably are others but those are a few I found quickly.
