Line 33:
Exactly one ''bi'' bit and one ''quinary'' bit is set in a valid digit. The bi-quinary encoding of the internal workings of the machine are evident in the arrangement of its lights – the ''bi'' bits form the top of a T for each digit, and the ''quinary'' bits form the vertical stem.

Line 63:
The [[Remington Rand 409]] has five bits: one ''quinary'' bit (tube) for each of 1, 3, 5, and 7 - only one of these would be on at the time. The fifth ''bi'' bit represented 9 if none of the others were on; otherwise it added 1 to the value represented by the other ''quinary'' bit. The machine was sold in the two models [[UNIVAC 60]] and [[UNIVAC 120]].
