Could this be the missing Cheever ref?

In his March 2002 (reprinted) article, Jean Hiraga cites masking research post Wegel and Lane. Hiraga identifies the authors but does not cite the references. Here they are:

Kameoka, A., & Kuriyagawa, M. Consonance Theory Part I: Consonance of Dyads. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 45(6), 1969a, pp. 1451-1459.

Kameoka, A., & Kuriyagawa, M. Consonance Theory Part II: Consonance of Complex Tones and Its Calculation Method. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 45(6), 1969b, pp. 1460-1469.

The following paper shows one or two graphs from these works which resemble some of those used by Cheever (e.g., Fig 2-3):

See esp Figs 14 and 18. I don't have easy access to JASA archives, but maybe somebody here can look them up. It's possible that these two Japanese researchers (from Toshiba Labs, according to Hiraga) are responsible for the work that Cheever fails to cite, and upon which the bulk of his thesis hinges (I am making no accusations here, just looking for answers to the interesting claim raised by Cheever).

One other possible source would be Fletcher's *Speech and Hearing in Communication*, 1953.
