Abstract
Abstract The arrangement comprises a punching device and a printing device in the form of a typewriter having a series of type actions. One of the devices, for example the punching device, is controlled by a readout device reading out information recorded on a record carrier, and corresponding punching operations are carried out in a card. Output means of the punching device are connected by control means to the type actions of the typewriter so that the same types the identical information on a copy sheet, which is punched into the card. The arrangement can be reversed, but in any event, the punching device and the typewriter are directly connected.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
Recording arrangement for typing and punching the same information, comprising, in combination, input means including a readout device for reading out information recorded on a record carrier, and transporting means for stepwise transporting the record carrier; a punching device having a set of output means including a set of punches for punching into a card holes representing information received from said record carrier, a set of selector means for selecting said punches, and a set of selector electromagnets for selecting said selector means, respectively; a printing device including a set of output means including a set of type levers for typing information on a copy sheet, and a set of printing electromagnets for operating said type levers, respectively; first control circuit means for electrically connecting said readout means with said selector electromagnets; second control circuit means including a set of switches actuated by the set of output means of said punching device, respectively, and electrically connected with said set of printing electromagnets to cause actuation of said type levers whereby identical information is and then typed punched irrespective of errors introduced by said input means; and a set of transporting switches operated by said type levers, respectively, and electrically connected with said transporting means for causing a step of said record carrier upon each actuation of any type lever.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
Recording arrangement as claimed in claim 1 comprising auxiliary switches operated by said type levers, respectively; and recording means for recording on a tape and being controlled by said auxiliary switches to record on said tape the same information which is typed on said copy sheet and also punched in said card.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
Recording arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein said punches are arranged in a straight row, and wherein said punching device includes a common actuator for said row of punches so that a line of holes is simultaneously punched corresponding to a line typed by said type actions.
