Non-trivial T-diagramms can be found in many european
textbooks on compiler construction. For example,
Niklaus Wirth's 1976 (yes, 1976, 1st ed.) book on
compiler construction
http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/books/Compilerbau0/
has T-diagramms on the cover and also a chapter 13 which
is filled with tons of dazzlingly complex T-diagramms.
In a more recent english version of this book he did
_not_ use T-diagramms anymore.
