Speaking of "Computer Structures Reading and Examples" by Bell and Newell,
chapter 41 has a section about the 7094 I, II. Start from page 515 to read
about the 701-7094 II sequence/evolution

There is a doc called 709-7090 General Information Manual D22-6508, which
I don't see in bitsavers (I don't have). The operator's guide for 7090
Data Processing System is A22-6535 is on bitsavers, but that's not going to
help you much. The big hole in the bitsavers collection for the 709-7090
is A22-6503, the 709-7090 Data Processing System Reference Manual. It's
kind of like Gordon Bell's book with a combination of hardware and
programming to explain how the system works. I think that's what you
want.
Maybe someone has a copy of this? If not I can scan mine. My 7090 is out
for repairs anyway so I don't need it at the moment. Those repair guys
don't move as fast as they used to.
Most of the rest of the docs I have related to 709-7090 are Fortran
related.
On the back pages of the 709/7090 Data Processing System Bulletins you'll
find a bibliography of all 709-7090 publications and their titles.

Have you really looked at everything that is on Bitsavers? It?s much more
than just the engineering manuals. If I may offer a suggestion, have a
look at this document and see if it fits your needs:

I assumed everyone would understand that by "engineering manuals", I was
meaning the kind of things one finds in BitSavers.
