Abstract: There is provided a calculator for calculating check digits which are obtained from code numbers according to a modulus 10, modulus 11 or the like check. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the desired check digit original numerals are indicated in response to the determination of a code number and weights and the desired check digit is readily obtained from the sum of the check digit original numerals. In accordance with another embodiment, the desired check digit is directly indicated in response to the setting of a code number. In accordance with still another improved embodiment, the desired check digit according to the modulus 10 and that according to the modulus 11 are selectively indicated in response to the setting of a code number.

Abstract: There is disclosed a numbering machine designed so that code numbers as well as check digits each consisting of a single-place digit are printed by means of a mechanical mechanism. The check digits are printed by a check digit type wheel having an arrangement of circulating digits which are calculated in correspondance with code numbers in accordance with a modulus 10 or 11 check with predetermined weights. When there is a carry from one code number digit place to the next higher digit place, it is necessary to print the digit skipped a predetermined number of the digits in the circulating digit arrangement, and as a result a drive control mechanism is provided so that when a change from one code number to the next higher code number necessitates a skipping operation, the change is detected and the check digit type wheel is rotated idly through a predetermined angle.
