Here are direct links to the Ornamental Penmanship PDF's I have created over the years:
NOTE: Please disregard the inconsistent numbering. Some of the files were not PDFs.
3a) I received a package in the mail from John DeCollibus containing items from the late Del Tysdal. These were notes from Charles P. Zaner’s (1864-1918) class penned in 1908 by AB Endress. One third were beautifully handwritten and the other two thirds were typed. I scanned the handwritten notes that I believe were Zaner’s classes to handwriting teachers and compiled them into a PDF for download. One of the lectures was from HL Darner. This is a large file of over 123 megs. He discusses OP in the last three pages. You may download the file at:

3b) Here are the typed notes from Zaner’s class (some are faded and hard to see):
