1983 NCR WorkSaver with WorkGraph business graphics

Clearly this machine is also a rebranded Convergent Technologies IWS/AWS.  

First time we've ever seen this from this vintage advertisement being sold on eBay:

Rival mainframers NCR and Burroughs also offer workstations for office automation applications. NCR's WorkSaver 100-series office automation systems are based on Convergent Technologies' AWS workstations; its WorkSaver-200 series utilize Convergent Technologies' IWS workstations. The WS-150 utilizes all the word and information processing software available on the other models and supports asynchronous TTY, bisyne 2780/3780 and 3270 communications. For business graphics applications, a package known as WorkGraph operates with the optional Multiplan spreadsheet software on the WS-200 models. Receiving statistical information from the Multiplan software, WorkGraph can produce line, bar, pie and combination charts of various sizes.
