* [[IBM 650]] – seven bits

: Two ''bi'' bits: 0 5 and five ''quinary'' bits: 0 1 2 3 4, with error checking.

: Exactly one ''bi'' bit and one ''quinary'' bit is set in a valid digit. In the pictures of the front panel below and in close-up, the bi-quinary encoding of the internal workings of the machine are evident in the arrangement of the lights – the ''bi'' bits form the top of a T for each digit, and the ''quinary'' bits form the vertical stem.
