TECHNICAL REPORTS FOR QUICK READER COMPREHENSION
Abstract
R and D reports can be made to be equally suited to rapid scanning or scholarly reading. This is done by displaying the gist of the material in a series of selfcontained informational units, or modules, and by confining detail to the main test. Because the modules are independent of the text, they can be prepared in rough during the task work. The separate module idea also permits the author and a technical editor to collaborate on manuscript preparation so as to take maximum advantage of the talents of each. The reports thus produced conserve writing and reading time, suit the needs of different audiences, and are issued promptly after completion of the work being described. The technique has been proved experimentally.
