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, ...

Example:   -12.00 = 99988.00
