Mark-8 schematics?

I may be wrong here, but that is NOT the schematic for the Mark-8.

If you read the description of the design written by Titus (from the
same site)
he clearly states that he was unsatisfied with the clock generator in
the Intel design,
and that it was based on four monostable multivibrators.

The schematic your refering to shows the quad-monostable clock generator
which
Titus had redesigned for the Mark-8.

So I'm thinking that the schematic in question is in fact Intel's
'original' version. The
caption below the partial schematic seems to support this as well.

Am I wrong here?
