(under subclass 61) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to a typewriter capable of editing or revision as those terms are discussed and explained in the notes below.
(1) Note. The term "revision" is applied to an operation wherein the text of typewritten material is changed. Typically, a typist types a "rough draft" text and generates a "rough draft program". The text is proof-read and various changes are indicated where necessary to add, delete, modify spelling, or otherwise correct the text. The typist or proofreader then locates on the rough draft text and program the portion of text to be changed and reprograms to correct the text. The reprogrammed corrections may be put onto a correction program or onto the rough draft program or onto another instrumentality. The correction program is then combined with the rough draft program to in corporate all the changes and corrections into a master program which is then used to reproduce as many original copies as are desired. A revision system typewriter is sometimes used as an input or as an output, and usually additional equipment is necessary to correlate the changes so that they may be entered properly in the master program.
(2) Note. The term "editing" is applied to an operation wherein the appearance (e.g., the format) as well as the text of typewritten material is changed. An editing system will usually operate similarly to a revision system, but will include changes such as "centering", "indent paragraphing", or other format control changes. An incoming program (i.e., input) will be modified by appropriate equipment to perform format control or character-selection control that is
different from the original program.
