The 7447 has a problem in that the "6"
doesn't have the top crossbar,
so that it's indistinguishable from a "b". The '247 does include the
top segment when displaying '6', which is why I mentioned the 247 and
not 47.
I too realised that halfway thru the exercise and went scrambling back
to the databook to check on the 247.
