Where can plans for building a Hampton Court rat maze be found?

University of New Brunwick psychology professor David Likely says that the maze was designed by Willard Small in 1900, and that "an a-mazing variety of laboratory mazes designed to study one thing or another can be found in Norman L. Munn's (1950) Handbook of Psychological Research on the Rat." http://www.unbf.ca/psychology/likely/headlines/C1900_14.htm#Willard_Sm all Perhaps you'll find it in that book.

There were two drawings of Small's Hampton Court Maze in the 1950 edition of the Munn book, one on p. 3 and one on p. 185. I have posted 300 dpi jpegs of them on the web at:

Hope this helps.
