There is a unpublished manuscript by R. Proud, on the title “On centralizers of unipotent elements in algebraic groups”. If some one have a copy of this please post it.

(This unpublished manuscript is used as a reference in the following papers: "Centres of centralizers of unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups" by R. Lawther and D.M. Testerman )

Actually, I am looking for the description of the centralizer $Z_G(X)$ , where $G$ is a real simple Lie Group and $X\in \ Lie (G) $ such that $X^d=0,\ X^{d-1}\neq 0 $. Any reference or any suggestion is welcomed.
