This is from my 1989 Bellcore Catalog of Technical Information:

 - NPA-NXX Vertical and Horizontal Coordinates Tape - This tape
contains for each active NPA-NXX in the North American Numbering Plan,
the industry type data applicable to that point. The data contained
includes the vertical and horizontal coordinate, the LATA or LATA-like
code, the place, name, and time zone indicators. This tape is
available monthly and contains, in addition to a data set, two data
files: 1) a complete master of all active NPA/NXX's and 2) a file of
only the updates made since the last issue.

NPA/NXX V + H Coordinates Tape			$320.00
