Roy,

You are indeed correct.  I have a TCS-12 manual, and it is marked 
Restricted.

Dennis, as far as "modern" markings - you are correct. However, during 
MY time in starting in the '60s, some items were marked with one of the 
NOW common classifications - Followed By: "Formerly Restricted Data".  
So Restricted has been in use during WWII, and into the early '60s.
