How can they only have one low resolution picture and only pictures of the outside?? What display tech does it use? I can't imagine there are Roman Numeral Nixi

  The document is available on IEEExplore: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5311583 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5311583 I've reproduced here: https://pdfupload.io/docs/13f78f9d https://pdfupload.io/docs/13f78f9d

    Amazing, thank you for the link! There's an entire 'collected papers' on the IEEE website. I'm going to miss my college library accounts now i'm graduated!

  After staring at the linked PDF for a while, I think the display was a collection of lightbulbs (presumably behind a mask plate), probably arranged something like this: Upper dial V XV (Quotient) III Lower dial LLLVV (Accumulator) XXX X IIII

    Yeah, it's a relay counter like a score motor in a pinball machine, but each rotor is different since the I is mod 5, the V is mod2 and the LX is mod 80, directly connected to the lights. The principles discussion is well done. Wow I love old tech documentation! I still don't have a good visualization of what the display 'dial' looks like
