I expect the codes were customized, too. The ones used at TU Eindhoven were very much not
ASCII, not even close. It was basically a 7 bit code, but 6 significant bits plus a
parity bit, with shift/unshift codes like in the 5-level codes. And the 8th bit by itself
was for carriage return.

I had one of these back in 1978ish. I remember that the coding was ASCII, but “inverted”
i.e. mark and space were reversed. Not sure if yours is the same.
Good luck.
