There are many, many varieties of floating point formats. This page

Nice. The CDC 6000 description isn't quite right (or not clear) because a negative
float is formed by complementing the entire word, not just the mantissa part.
I'll feed the Electrologica details to the author of that page; they are different
from everything shown there and have some interesting/useful properties.
