 Well, for the 3000-series TTL, there was the 3130, a dual 4-input job, and
 for 2000 series TTL, there was the 2002/2052 3-2-2-3  AND-OR-INVERT
 expander, as well as the 2006/2056 dual 4-input.  There were similar parts
 for the 400/500 series TTL also. 
I've been wondering for a while now what the major use was of those
"AND-OR-Invert" gates,  since the early TTL stuff I became familiar with
first had a bunch of them in the databook...
Anybody know?
