If you've made one you'll know what they are :-)

I'm trying to find drawings, info, or discussion groups where makers of
such things (early woodwind) hang out.

Yes, double reed. Racketts are a solid block of wood with 9 or 10
parallel holes connected to make one long hole! The holes are constant
bore in renaissance Racketts and conical in Baroque ones

:-) There are certainly far worse ways, such as watching people chase or
hit balls of various shape, or watching other people live (waste?) their
real or imaginary lives every night on a screen.
