Abstract
The Disc Readed is the central novel unit of the AN/GSQ-16 (XW-2) equipment. In it a disc which has been loaded with 64.5 x 10 to the 6th power bits of information is read on instruction from the Search and Analysis Logic. The input to the Disc Reader consists of a long sequence of characters in which words or groups of words are indicated. These constitute the ''addresses'' in the computer sense and serve as a basis for a search. When an address is found, the associated ''translation'' is read out and is delivered via the Search and Analysis Logic to the output equipment. A description is presented of the information rate required for a real-time translation of Russian technical literature and the particular optical, servo and detection components that were designed to deliver it at this rate in a form acceptable to the Searching and Analysis Logic.
