Schemes of drag chute systems

Hi

I am currently trying to find anything about the drag chute systems of both military and commercial planes. But I found almost nothing...

As far as I know Sud Caravelle, Tu-104, Tu-124, Tu-144, Concorde prototypes, Learjet 25 and 35 and Falcon 20 had these chutes. As for the big military birds - Vulcan, Vickers, B-47, B-52, SR-72, XB-70, ... Any info for fighters will also help.
I know what to look for, but obviously have no luck.
The reason for my search is that I need to prepare a presentation about these systems and have to get a clear idea how they work. From pushing the button on the panel to jettisoning the chute at the end.

I would be grateful if someone helps I can read materials in Russian as well. Thanks in advance

Cheers
