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

The canadian showman was called the showman 2 it was a very good pegboard system
there was also the half showman that was a simple affair with a amprite timer in in it
what michael has I don't think came from up here

Didn't Smart make what was called the ShowMan IV automation? If so I pity you Michael!
