text: The wire frame may be used either with positional notation like other abacuses (thus the 10-wire version may represent numbers up to 9,999,999,999), or each bead may represent one unit (so that e.g. 74 can be represented by shifting all beads on 7 wires and 4 beads on the 8th wire, so numbers up to 100 may be represented).
text: The five beads below the crossbar represent one unit each, while the two beads above the crossbar represent five units each.
text: Five beads are thus enough to represent nine units.
