You could try the following (table 46.1). I don't know if it's what you 
want; if not, Google does a very good job of locating things.

Data sets from D F Andrews and A M Herzberg, Data: A Collection of 
Problems from Many Fields for the Student and Research Worker, New York, 
NY etc.: Springer-Verlag 1985 (SF 6 AND)
(ftp://utstat.utoronto.ca/pub/david/data-collect)
