One very interesting thing I noted on the page:
Negative numbers were usually represented using distinguisable
features like color. Positive rods were usually colored red while
negative rods were usually colored black.
Wasn't there a really long thread not very long ago about whether
color was ever a distinguishing characteristic of two otherwise
identical characters?
