EXPERIMENTAL MODEL UNITD SEARCH AND DISSEMINATION DEVICE.
Abstract
A detailed analysis is provided of the work in volved in the development of the Experimental Model, Unit Record Search and Dissemination Device, built under contract AF30(602)2569. The purpose of the model was to assist in the formu lation of design parameters associated with several new techniques in file manipulation, including search, dissemination, sorting, and collating. The significance of this program is that a group of techniques for handling unit re cords have been developed which are applicable to nearly all the functions required in any record handling system. These techniques include the use of air as the prime mover of information and code bearing cards, on-the-fly code reading, and mechanical path selection and switching. (Author)
