ADDITION:

If a wrong figure is entered in a column, repeat with the right
figure. To clear the keyboard: Push or pull the top-right green
[T/S] toggle-switch.
REPEAT:
-------
To enter the same number more than once, set the top-left green
switch to [R] before pulling the handle. The keyboard will not be
cleared after releasing the handle.
SUBTRACTION:
------------
To enter a negative number, set the top-left green switch to [-]
before pulling the handle. Because [R]&[-] are on the same switch,
it is not possible to repeat negative numbers.
SUBTOTAL:
---------
The cumulated sum will be printed when the top-right green switch
is held at [S] before pulling the handle. The memory will hold the
actual sum after releasing the handle.
TOTAL:
------
The total sum will be printed when the top-right green switch is
held at [T] before pulling the handle. The memory will be cleared
after releasing the handle.
NEGATIVE RESULTS:
-----------------
A negative result will be printed as the COMLEMENT of the next
higher 10, 100, 1000, ...
Example: -12.00 = 99988.00

(1st) R E M A R K : How to get a NEW RIBBON for this machine ???
==================================================================
There are cartridges for MATRIX-Printers on the market with 8 mm
NYLON-Ribbons. Check the cartridge before buying because there are
several available with different lengths. In some cases you can
get 3 spools out of one cartridge! You will get your fingers
dirty when you do the respooling - but the result is great!
And remember: BOTH SIDES HAVE TO BE SPOOLED CLOCKWISE ...
(*) R E M A R K : How "LINEAR-SEGMENT" is NOT working ...
==================================================================

... more sophisticated: It is a "Reverse"-NONIUS-Principle !!!
