System Data through Functional Techniques

A unique functional concept in the field of system display which allows rapid and effective communication of design information is introduced. This is to be accomplished through the presentation and explanation of a Single Line Functional Flow Diagram technique. The format is arranged along the same left-to-right flow lines traditionally associated with reading text. The component grouping into recognizable sub-groups follows the same principal as speed sight reading, thus providing the reader with schematics which can be rapidly and accurately read, rather than a puzzle which must be solved. The principle result is an improved engineering data approach which yields multi-purpose functional data suitable for direct application in many engineering and technical support areas without expensive rework.
