There's a new two-part article surveying all these various types of bows, "New light on the old bow" by Robert Seletsky. That's in the May and August issues of Early Music. It's an update and expansion of his New Grove article, allowing more scope for illustrations and footnotes.
That May issue also has a good article about slide trumpets.
See also the Nov/Dec issue of Fanfare, the interview with Rachel Barton Pine, where she discusses her experience playing both modern violin and Baroque violin regularly (with various bows), and her reasons and venues for choosing either one.

[To Bradley Lehman] Is the May issue of "Early Music" accessible over the Internet? I did a Google search and couldn't find it. I am particularly interested in the article on the slide trumpet.
