letters-shift, figures-shift, end-of-line indi-cator.

The control keys have the following functions:

At the receiving station: the paper can be fed one line at a time; the carriage can be returned to the left-most margin of the paper; the carriage can be moved one space at a time.

The 'repeat' key allows repeated operation of a character or function, without repeated operation of the key lever. The 'bell' key signals the operator at the receiving station. Letters-shift designates the information sent as alphabetic; figures-shift identifies information sent as numerical.

In the preparation of perforated tape to be used for auto-matic transmission to a page printer receiver, the 'end-of-line' indicator signals after sixty-six key depressions from the pre-vious 'carriage return' key depression. The signal indicates that the operator should depress the 'carriage return' key.

COMMENTS

The l\fodel 154 Complete Station Teleprinter provides com-plete printing communication facilities in a single set.

The keyboard is equipped for sequential transmitting, but may be operated on a parallel or 5-wire basis when perforating tape. This parallel setting of the keyboard allows tape prepara-tion at speeds higher than normal operaprepara-tion. There is a back-space lever for error correction in the tape.

vVhen the tape runs out or becomes too taut, there is an audi-ble alarm on the reperforator or a stop on the tape transmitter.

VVhen receiving information in the form of a printed page, and a carriage return signal is not received at the right-most margin, carriage return and line feed function automatically to prevent over-printing.

Reads Hollerith coded information from SO-column punched cards.

This is a modified Burroughs G 101 Electronic High Speed Card Read-er, Printer and Punch; see ADP Equip. Rpt. Ref. 4G 155.1 for char-acteristics of the card 'reader.

Edits information from SO-column punched cards by control panels, converts the Hollerith code into bi-nary-coded decimal notation, writes encoded information onto magnetic tape; contains timing, coding and checking circuits; 100 positions of input core storage, 16 52-bit words of output core storage.

The DATAmatic card-to-magnetic tape conversion system utilizes a modified Burroughs 900 card per minute card reader, the Model 1200, Input Converter, and a Magnetic File Unit.

Information from up to two cards is assigned one block on tape.

Each of these blocks contains 62 words of alphanumeric infor-mation. A 2,700 foot reel of this magnetic tape may contain data from 10,800 punched cards.

The entire card must be read and its contents edited by the card reader's plugboards; hence, all transposition, duplication and discarding of card information is accomplished. by me,ans

of the first plugboard. This information is stored in the input buffer of the converter and, under control of the Input Con-verter's plugboard, is conditioned for output. Each column of output information must contain either an alphanumeric, numerical or hexadecimal character (all three with blank col-umns not permitted); or an alphanumeric, numerical, hexa-decimal or sign character (all four with blank columns permitted).

The properly positioned, converted information is stored onto magnetic tape on a :Th1:agnetic File Unit. A 4-bit 'weight count' for validity purposes is manufactured for each word during the conversion process and stored onto the tapes also.

The comparison check in the .card reader is a column by col-umn comparison between the card reading taken at the first reading station and that taken at the second reading station. A mismatch may stop the conversion process, at the user's option.

If the conversion is not stopped, the error is signaled on mag-netic tape.

COMMENTS

The DATAmatic magnetic tape-to-card or printer conversion system utilizes a JYfagnetic File Unit; an Output Converter, Model 1300 and either a modified IBM 519, card punch, or a modified IBM 407, line printer.

The information in 62 word blocks is read into the input buffer of the Output Converter, one block at a time at a rate of 100 inches per second. The converter's plugboards condition the magnetic tape information for output. The information in 8 word sections is read into the input storage of the Output Con-verter. The Converter's plugboards condition the magnetic tape information for output. These plugboards are wired so as to control each character of input information in accordance with its category classification; these categories include 4-bit num-bers, 6-bit alphabetic, 4-bit sign, as well as 1-, 4-, and 6-bit rejec-tion of informarejec-tion.
