Some knots with surgeries yielding lens spaces

TL;DR

Contribution

It offers a detailed, digitized version of the original manuscript, clarifying and updating the classification of knots with lens space surgeries from the 1990s.

Findings

Includes original figures and tables with digital enhancements.

Replaces parameter k with λ for clarity.

Provides insights into knot surgeries yielding lens spaces.

Abstract

This is a facsimile of the circa 1990 unpublished manuscript with the same title. All the original text, figures and tables are included; although text has been reset in \TeX, the original hand-drawn figures have been redrawn digitally, and the parameter $k$ in the original table of lens spaces has been replaced with the originally intended $\lambda$. And, of course, this abstract has been added.
