DEFINITION

Classification: 400/62

Including means for responding to input program or incoming signals and providing output program or signals representing typing operations (e.g., output typewriter):

(under subclass 61) Subject matter wherein the typewriter is governed by an auxiliary-record-program* or is governed by an instrumentality outside of the typewriter, which instrumentality transmits to the typewriter the instructions necessary to control the typing functions* and type-face* selections and choices, and wherein the typewriter also generates an auxiliary-record-program or also generates the instructions necessary to control the typing functions and type-face selections and choices for another typewriter.

(1) Note. The typewriter of this subclass is known as an "input-output" typewriter in the art. The "input" of this

typewriter may be from a program in the form of a punched or magnetic tape or other record, or may be in the form of signals from a "computer" or "register" or "memory" outside of the typewriter. The "output" of this typewriter may also be in the form of a program tape or other record, or may be in the form of signals to a "computer" or "register" or "memory", the signals being generated in response to depression of the key* elements on a key-board* by a typist and being transmitted to another typewriter. The typewriter of this subclass is capable of responding to an input and of producing an output. Also a typewriter of this subclass could be one of several typewriters in a chain wherein the "input" of one typewriter is converted to an "output" of that typewriter, which "output" of the first typewriter becomes the "input" of a second typewriter, etc.
