"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. "
