Does anyone have that information or a manual? It is a very simple automation with just a few relays and what looks like a timing device, so it should be not a big problem to figure out how it works, but if anyone has a manual and/or terminal assignment list, that would save me some time.
Also, does anyone know what exactly the timing device is and how it works?

Showman is a Canadian automation, ceased production in about 1985. The only timer is a cam timer 1 or 2 rpm. I haven't seen one in a long time. Maybe Gordon has a set of drawings? Louis
