Line 18:
The TTS code had two pairs of shift codes allowing a total of four shift states. The first operated much like a keyboard's shift key and selected between a lower-case and digits repertoire, and an upper-case and symbols one. A second pair of Linotype-specific "lower rail" and "upper rail" shift codes would select an alternate (usually italic) font.
 
===BCD six-bit codecodes===
Six-bit [[BCD (6-bitcharacter encoding)|BCD]] code wascodes thewere adaptationadaptations of the [[punched card code]] to [[binary code]]. [[IBM]] applied the terms ''binary-coded decimal'' and ''BCD'' to the variations of BCD ''alphamerics'' used in most early IBM computers, including the [[IBM 1620]], [[IBM 1400 series]], and non-[[IBM 700/7000 series#Decimal architecture (7070/7072/7074)|decimal architecture]] members of the [[IBM 700/7000 series]].
