Where can I find information about the former 37 CFR 1.60 procedures?

For those interested in the historical procedures under former 37 CFR 1.60, the MPEP provides guidance: For more information pertaining to practice and procedure under former 37 CFR 1.60, see MPEP § 201.06(a) in the MPEP 8th Edition, Rev. 1 (February 2003)(available on the USPTO website at www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/mpep.htm).
