Abstract

Abstract A feeding arrangement moves microfilm under an optical reading head. At the same time corresponding information in readable form is projected onto a predetermined position on a ground glass plate visible to an operator. Means are provided for initiating the reading process and to output it for further processing. An auxiliary keyboard adds other data to the output.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A device for looking up selected information from tables of information and outputting said information from the tables and out of the device for further processing without interim human storage comprising means having a predetermined position for selectively viewing alpha numeric, man readable information in viewable list form on a carrier by an operator, a read station adapted to read corresponding information in machine readable form arranged on said carrier in constant geometric relation to said selectively viewed information for converting said selected information into corresponding electrical signals, carrier feeding means for randomly shifting viewable information on said carrier to said predetermined viewing position and corresponding machine readable information on said carrier to said read station, means for initiating the read process, and output means connected to said read station to output said corresponding electrical signals out of the device for further processing without interim human storage.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 147 words
A device for looking up selected information from tables of information and outputting said information from the tables and out of the device for further processing without interim human storage comprising means having a predetermined position for selectively viewing alpha numeric, man readable information in viewable list form on a carrier by an operator, a read station adapted to read corresponding information in machine readable form arranged on said carrier in constant geometric relation to said selectively viewed information for converting said selected information into corresponding electrical signals, carrier feeding means for randomly shifting viewable information on said carrier to said predetermined viewing position and corresponding machine readable information on said carrier to said read station, means for initiating the read process, and output means connected to said read station to output said corresponding electrical signals out of the device for further processing without interim human storage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A data processing device according to claim 1, in which a keyboard is provided parallel to the read station for outputting additional data not contained on the information carrier.
