Regarding the 567 original U&V deck, and then the A, B, and C, Kettering's excellent treatise (presented in 1951) on the history and development of the EMD 567 series is available here:
http://utahrails.net/pdf/EMD_5...Development_1951.pdf
The host is utahrails.net.
Kettering (Chief Engineer at EMD in those days) describes most of the design evolution/changes through the years. It is excellent.
Those here who grew up listening to 567s remember the sound. Some remember it as a "chant" but for me, 567s in Notch Eight BELLOWED!

Great article! Thanks. The last time I heard a 567 “Live” was trackside along the Hudson river while a FL-9 accelerated its train out of Croton-Harmon. The diesel sound was much louder than I had expected. Interesting to note that some FL-9’s had a “D” variant of the 567.
