Devices for Reading Handwritten Characters - T. L. DIMOND

L. C. Oesterich (U.S. Navy): You are
apparently adapting this reading device to
your toll ticket problem. Please outline the
system.

Mr. Dimond: The proposed reading de-
vice is one of the contenders for solving
the toll ticket problem. It would be used
in the following manner. The tickets fur-
nished to the operators would have dots
preprinted on them around which the op-
erators would write the characters, most
of which are numerals. These tickets would
be gathered up periodically and sent to a
processing center where they would be fed
automatically into a device which would
read the information and record it on cards
or magnetic tape for further processing.
