Language Manual for Use with Ideographic Composing Machines Models AR816 and AR3L. Volume I. Introduction.
Abstract
This set of language manuals has been developed by RCA Corporation. They cover the ideographic characters making up the vocabularies of the Chinese composing machines developed under contract DA 19-129-QM-1948 and the Chinese, Japanese, and North Korean composing machine developed under contract DA 19-129-AMC-725(N). These manuals support the operation and maintenance of these machines. The manuals contain lists of information on the Kanji ideograms stored in the optical memory of the Ideographic Composing Machines (ICM). This information is presented in various formats giving cross references and references to standard dictionaries for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. The lists also give the location in the optical memory of the ICM for each character. The stroke sequence of the character plays a major roll in the ICM system; therefore, the manuals provide a means for obtaining the exact spelling for each character based on the common handwritten K'ai style by the Chinese. Because of the number of variations found in use by the Japanese and Korean writers, it was decided to standardize with the Chinese spelling for these manulas and for the ICM system. A written and printed form of a character is provided in the manual, when there is a difference, to clarify the stroke sequence required by the ICM for identification. The output of the ICM gives the printed Sung style characters.
