Like Gemini, Skylab is one of those well-known programs that got built, a bunch of photos were released of it showing every angle, but not much in the way of raw data is available without filing a FOIA request.

I'm looking for detailed drawings of and/or dimensional data for Skylab and the Apollo Telescope Mount, and being broke and jobless I'm looking to the orbiter community for assistance.

Thus far this is the best image I've been able to find but it is sadly lacking in data/detail.

Idealy I'd loke to find something like this for Skylab...

Or barring that any of the following.

Length/Width/Thickness of OWS Solar-wing panels.
Length/Width/Thickness of ATM panels.
Width of gap between wings and hull.
Specific dimensions of forward tanks, airlock modules, etc...
Max torque of ATM CMGs
Masses of O2, H2O, RCS Propellant tankage.

Trust me I've searched reasonably well and indeed there isn't that much data online.

The best reference images (with some actual dimensions) I used for Skylab B are:






There are a few more diagrams but add very little. You may find something by searching by individual component (ATM, MDA, OWS, etc) or subsystems.
Your best bet is to derive dimensions from photos. There are high resolution scans available.
