Thanks for taking the time to write. We have updated that webpage to fix the broken link ...
Let us return the favor by telling you about a fabulous website that many researchers don't know about, The Internet Archive which takes snapshots of the past internet. When you find a broken link, you often can go back in time at web.archive.org using the "Wayback Machine" to read the now missing page as it was before being deleted.
The Internet Archive has taken on a massive task in making repeated snapshots over time of the entire internet and as a result is sometimes slow to respond or temporarily unavailable, but if the desired page is available, keep trying until you can view it with your browser.

Woah, I have never heard of such a thing, thank you so much for cluing me in on this little gem. It will come in very handy.

Glad to help! It would be great if the Internet Archive was built into web browsers so that missing pages would automatically be shown, but suspect that would be such a load that it might exceed the capacity of the Wayback Machine servers.
