Thanks for the link. So far I'd only tried google,
assuming anything
relevant on bitsavers would show up. It didn't, which is interesting. My
search was only very brief though. I'd been doing an initial eval on the
reader in the evening, then read the post about Mr Hollerith's house. So
hadn't yet done any serious searching.
The unit was made in April 1977. Someone else mentions the TM200 is not the
same as the M200, so I have some reading to do.
From outward appearences, it looks to be the same as the Wang 2244A, and
the Wang Model 2200 Systems Mainteance Manual confirms that it is a TM200:

A reference manual and data sheet are available on the Wang 2200 site:

No schematics, though.
