I was reading this one. Can't tell if hand drawn or not.

All the diagrams apart from the ASCII art are hand-drawn (e.g. pages 14,
19) - i.e. technical pens, rulers, T-squares, drawing board. With some
paste-up for the Futura typesetting. And probably reduced from a larger
drawing, by process camera to bromide at the correct size for these
pages, and then pasted down as a 'mechanical' (as described by Paul).
As it happens I've recently been scanning some documents from this S/360
documentation series...
