Chuck,
The Group Mark key was on later IBM 1620 Model 1 typewriters as well as
the Model 2 Selectrics.
See:

The flagged numeric blank was accidentally left out of the print sample
I made.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, Dave.
Was the group mark on the Model 2 typewriter keyboard? I don't recall
it from the CADET. It was associated with the 1311 disk option anyway.
How does one print a flagged numeric blank? (the "dump numeric"
instruction prints it)?
Thanks,
Chuck

Dave,
I'd love to see the keyboard and printed output; unfortunately, the
listserv strips out anything but test. Got a link?

Chuck,
True, the 1620 Model 1 Model B typewriter (1st gen). The 1620 Model 2
used a Selectric (2nd gen). We're using the 3rd generation IBM electric
typewriter (Wheelwriter) with the 1620 Jr. (3rd gen 1620?). [I know
it's a stretch.]
The issue is that for Jr. we needed a reliable, robust, very low
maintenance device. The IBM 1620 Jr. will be used by the CHM Education
Department and needs to stand up to hands-on use without needed
difficult & expensive maintenance.
Here's the keyboard of our Wheelwriter-based IBM 1620 Jr. Console
Typewriter:
And here is the printed output:
Note the slashed zero, flagged digits, and all of the 1620 special
characters. :-)
Thanks,
Dave
