Any particular reason? Custom fit? Mr. Faulkner have a long torso? Just wondering. I'm no expert by any means, but not what I would consider a full on racing frame for the mid 80s.
Almost all of the frames I have built were custom specific to an individual customer. I 1st determine their bicycle position and my fixture allows me to design the frame around where their handlebar and seat are located. I don't have the build sheet in front of me so I'm not sure of its geometry since no 2 frames I have built are exactly the same. I'm guessing it has a 74º head angle (2nd guess would be 73.5º) and the seat angle would have been determined by his saddle set back numbers.
