Not that uncommon, really. It was only Model II of the 1620 that had 
index registers; the CADET didn't.  No accumulator either--just a simple 
2-address architecture.    It did have (optional) indirect addressing, 
however, which was a godsend if you had it.  Otherwise, you really did 
have to plug instructions.

But even the 650 had a TLU instruction...
