The keyboard of the 14-A has a 10 numbers keypad and was the first calculator of not having a complete set of ten numbers keys.
Moreover, it has a single bill-poster as well showing the seizure as the result, and not three bill-posters showing the two seized numbers and the result, as was common in this time. The single bill-poster, who will become current, is revolutionary for the time and is one of the reasons of the compactness of the computer/calculator. |
