Definitions
- ABSTRACT An editing typewriter system having a typewriter, two magnetic tape cassettes and control logic. Representative of its operational features are its ability to learn a format including margins and tabs, line spacing and number of lines per page, as well as its ability automatically to indent and automatically to tabulate by aligning the decimal points of a column of numbers. During recording, it can be operated to center headings, insert memos, pre-hyphenate, underline and combine symbols.
- Corrections can be made while recording simply by backspacing and striking over without retyping the remainder of the line, or the entire line can be erased if desired. After recording, it has the ability to search and index to a desired line solely by reference to' the initial symbols of that line, after which thesystem can be operated to print out that line in whole or part for revision by inserting or deleting as required. Transfer can be accomplished directly from cassette to cassette for editing so that it is unnecessary to print anything except the revisions. During playback, the right margin may be changed, adjusted within a variable space adjust zone and even justified.
