Thanks for the help. I am not making any changes to the planks, just removing a wall below the second floor of the cottage.
This info is what I needed.

Gary:
Flexicore was/is a "brand" of precast concrete planks. I believe they
are not as prevelant as their used to be.
What specifically do you need? I do have a Flexicore folder. It is
from around 1995 or so. I will note that it only has planks that are
24" or 20" in width, so I do not know how helpful it will be.
