IBM Model M Question (what do these number mean?)
« on: Mon, 23 January 2012, 20:18:27 »
So I just finished completely tearing down and cleaning my model M, and I'm putting it back together, and I realized that the keys all have different numbers on them. (G 13 and J 23 for example)

Not the keycaps, but the keys underneath.

Does anyone know what the significance of these are?

You mean the "key stems" ?

I checked some of mine and they are all unmarked.

I have often wondered about the bizarre random colors, however .....

“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
