Educational apparatus

Claim 1

Educational apparatus comprising a panel, a plurality of question terminals spaced along one side of the panel, a plurality of answer terminals arranged in groups on the other side of the panel, a test paper removably secured to the panel between the question and answer terminals, said test paper containing a problem adjacent each question terminal and a plurality of alternate answers to said problem adjacent a group of answer terminals, programming circuits interconnecting the question and answer terminals, switch means in the programming circuits including first and second selector switches and a master switch for connecting each question terminal to a selected answer terminal, said plurality of alternate answers to each problem including a predetermined correct answer entered on the test paper adjacent an appropriate selected answer terminal as indicated by the position of the master switch, a signalling circuit adapted to be connected to a source of electric current and including signalling means and manually operable conductor means, said conductor means being operable to electrically connect each question terminal to a selected answer terminal whereby the signalling means is energized if the selected answer terminal so connected is adjacent the predetermined correct answer to the problem associated with said question terminal, said first and second selector switches cooperating with the master switch to alter the programming circuits and connect a question terminal to a particular answer terminal according to the type of test on the test paper, said first selector switch being placed in a first operating position for a multiple choice test and a true or false test and being placed in a second operating position for a matching test, said second selector switch being placed in one operating position for a multiple choice test and a matching test and being placed in a second operation position for a true or false test.
