Overlay Data Entry Device for Automated Data Systems.

摘要

This report describes a device for entering data into an automated data processing system. The data for entry into the system is prepared and selected on multiple checklists where each checklist has the same format but different specific data entries. On each checklist there is also a unique black-in area. The data entry terminal or device includes a transparent overlay for entry of the data into the system. The transparent overlay aligns with and is placed over the checklist from which the data to be entered is to be selected. The transparent overlay contains a first set of code numbers corresponding to each data entry and a second set of code numbers apart from the data entries.
