"The Triumphator plant in Leipzig-Mölkau provided the pinwheel machine from the very beginning with two pioneering improvements, namely:
A row of windows showing the amount registered by the setting levers in a straight line so that it may be conveniently checked for accuracy.
The tens-carry in the revolution counter, superseding the red digits that were previously employed in competitive machines, which substantially facilitates shortcut multiplication. "

Thompson's integrating and differencing machine (1920). Thompson connected four
Triumphator business machines so that the number on the register of any machine
is transferred to the setting levers of the machine immediately below.
Once commercial machines could be used as difference engines, this type of
lash-up was no longer necessary.
