Prior to its invention only one key could be operated at a time. This meant that if a second key was struck before the one previously struck had returned to normal position an error might result ; but with the duplex machine there is no need for the exercise of care in this respect, as it provides for the simul- ta...neous operation of two or more keys in different columns.

It facilitates calculations in multiplication and division in a remarkable degree, since as many keys as can be conveniently held by the fingers of both hands may be struck at the same time. Thus in multiplying, say, 47685 by 3457 it is only necessary to strike the keys representing the latter factor five times in the unit's position, eight times in the ten's position, six times in the hundred's position, and so on across, when the answer appears in the register.
