'Feature -- Counters and Print Banks in flexible connection - any Counter to any like Print Bank direct or through distributors -- Model # (example E21) - maximum of six counters each of nine wheel capacity (9 wheels adding, 8 wheels balancing) with one list bank having 10 numerical bars, and six banks for listing and total printing having 9 numerical and 1 symbol bars' (this from the Build table, which lists other Models).
'During normal card passages through the feed, electrical impulses are conveyed from the card holes to various adding and list-printing magnets. On total-taking, however, the feed is stationary and, therefore, these impulses have to be created by the emitter and conveyed by the upper counter commutators to the print unit. With the Rolling Total Tabulator this emitter supplies the impulses also for transferring information from one counter to another...'
