Chicago / USA 1925 H O W T O U S E the VICTOR ********************************** Left Keys = SUBTOTAL, TOTAL, NON-ADD, SUBTRACT ( top-to-down ) Right Key = REPEAT ADDITION: --------- Everytime a number is entered and the handle is pulled, the number is added to the memory ( = DISPLAYED as SubTotal ) and printed. RESET KEYBOARD: --------------- If a wrong figure is entered in a column, repeat with the right figure. To clear the keyboard: Push the [SUB-TOTAL] or [TOTAL] Key. REPEAT: ------- To enter the same number more than once, PUSH & LOCK the [REPEAT] Key before pulling the handle. To release it, PULL the [REPEAT] Key BEFORE the last cycle. SUBTRACTION: ------------ To enter a negative number, push & hold the [SUBTRACT] Key when pulling the handle. SUBTOTAL: --------- The cumulated sum will be printed when the [SUBTOTAL] Key is pushed & hold when pulling the handle. The memory will hold the actual sum after releasing the handle. TOTAL: ------ The total sum will be printed when the [TOTAL] Key is pushed & hold when pulling the handle. The memory will be cleared after releasing the handle. ID-NUMBERS: ----------- An ID-Number can be entered and printed: Push & hold the [NON-ADD] Key when pulling the handle. This input is not registered in the arithmetic unit. NEGATIVE RESULTS: ----------------- A negative result will be printed as the COMPLEMENT of the next higher 10, 100, 1000, ...
