DEFINITION
Classification: 234/65
(under subclass 59) Device further provided with input-means* in addition to said sensing means, and means for enabling effective transmission of signals or impulses from both said input-means during the same operating cycle of the machine.
(1) Note. The additional input-means may also be pattern-sensing mechanisms thus affording tool selection control by two or more patterns.
(2) Note. Disclosures in this subclass include "edited" or supervised selective punching, wherein a pattern-sensing mechanism imposes restrictions on the selection of punches by other means (e.g., keyboard).
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
16+, and 53+, for means to shift control from one input source to another, which may include pattern-control means.
67+, for means in general to modify the effect of pattern data.
