That's the link to the US Navy's Machinery Repairman 3 & 2 the training manual for the Navy's machinists. Chapter 12 is devoted to shapers, planners, and engravers. It includes the recommended shape of the cutting tools.
BTW, excellent price - free.
I've downloaded the US Navy manual previously on your recommendation Stan. It's an excellent resource and I've learned a lot from it, however I could not find any specific information there on making a channel cut with the shaper. I struggled to find any information on this specific cut anywhere, perhaps because it would be best done on the horizontal mill. Next batch of holders I make, that's what I'll do. I need to get the coolant system operational on the mill before tackling a heavy cut like that though.
Take a look at pgs 6-23, 24 & 25.
