Hi,
I think you will find that this machine was Manufactured for Harrisons by MW Controls.
(I used to be General Manager there some years ago).
MW Controls were the electronics division of Boxford Ltd.
The rack control card should be of use as it has parker digiplan drives and power supplies fitted. I also think there are buffered clock cards slotted next to each of the drives. These handle the ramping to prevent stalling if too high a feed is requested.
I would see if you can find any help from Boxford as they still work with Bradford Instuments.
Good Luck!
