I guarantee that you'll be stuck in an intellectual cul de sac until you immerse yourself in it. Hucho used it. You can too!
Yes, well some of us are using textbooks and SAE papers more recent than a 69 year old book.

My point remains, and no-one has (or can) address it:

If all this BS about a template were true, current aero references would cover it in great detail. After all, imagine how easy car aero would be if you could just apply a template to find out all the following:

- Show where there is separated and attached flow on existing cars
- Guide the shape of rear extensions
- Show how rear spoilers on sedans should be positioned and shaped
- Allow the assessment of the ‘aerodynamic purity’ of cars
