Chuck,
The Group Mark key was on later IBM 1620 Model 1 typewriters as well as
the Model 2 Selectrics.
See:

The flagged numeric blank was accidentally left out of the print sample
I made.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, Dave.
Was the group mark on the Model 2 typewriter keyboard? I don't recall
it from the CADET. It was associated with the 1311 disk option anyway.
How does one print a flagged numeric blank? (the "dump numeric"
instruction prints it)?
Thanks,
Chuck
