That's all I know about it. I was told the tale by my lead engineer at Boeing, Erwin Schweitzer. One of the great things about working with such engineers is all the amazing stories. You won't find much information on this incident or the "mach tuck" one because they didn't crash.

But you might try googling "727 autopilot landing gear dive".
