The following engineering status meeting notes are courtesy Atari Coin-Op (Company-Confidential) Documents by Andy Welburn. Visit his site to see scans of the original documents. They contain complete pages of notes, from which I have extracted just the Liberator portions.
C. Downend is Chris A. Downend, who was apparently a manager at Atari Coin-Op Engineering since his signature is on one of the minutes. Also, note that a cocktail model of Liberator is mentioned. To the best of my knowledge, none were ever produced.
