Abstract :
A novel form of tabular display of printed data designed for use in air traffic control is described. The equipment is intended to fulfil the functions of the existing manually-operated tabular bay, using flight progress strips, but by an electronic scanning system using a magnetic matrix it provides for automatic indication of data strips between control consoles and also for automatic amendment of the data displayed, by binary coded messages from a keyboard or data processor. Other possible applications of the equipment are discussed.
