I never used CDC or Univac but was taught ones & twos complement. I started at
the end of life for S360. I vaguely remember someone explaining 3 state signed
numbers but nothing specific.

For those from the 1960s, what signed integers are depends on the machines that
we started on: ones' complement suggests that you started with CDC or UNIVAC.
To those who started on the S/360 it's rwos' complement and to some, it's
sign-magnitude.
How about decimal with a three-state sign?
