Method and means for information presentation

An information display system for presenting information directed to achieving a given objective, such as recommended operations to a growth cycle of a rose, having a common characteristic throughout, namely, a recommended operation during a particular time interval, said system comprising:

• a plurality of separate and distinct, portable panels, said panels being disposable substantially in parallel rows and/or columns and orientated in the same upright position for ready viewing, each said panel including a carrier having the following information disposed thereon;
• a. a marginal scale, said scale consisting of suitable indicia representing said time interval, disposed upon said carrier at intervals along the edge of said carrier, said marginal scale identically disposed on each said carrier,
• b. a plurality of separate and physically independent, self-sufficient and self-contained, main charts, each of said main charts expressing an essential element of said information, said main charts disposed, one after the other, along the length of said carrier, each of said main charts containing at least one of the same forms of information, said forms of information positioned within said main chart identically, from chart to chart, said forms of information limited in number to facilitate comparison of the content of each of said forms of information within each panel and between said panels, said information within each main chart related to an independent, elementary operation, directed to the achievement of said objective,
• c. means for referencing each said elementary operation described in each said main chart to the location along said marginal scale representing the point within said time interval when said elementary operation is to take place, said referencing means identical in form for each said main chart,
• said identical position and same forms of information in each main chart, said identical marginal scales along the edge of said panel and said identical means for referencing each said elementary operation to the marginal scale combining to facilitate the comparison of the different operations described in each of the main charts both within and between panels.

An information display system for presenting information about a series of events, such as important social events in Great Britain, having a common characteristic throughout, namely, occurrence during a particular time interval, said system comprising:

• a plurality of separate and distinct, portable panels, said panels being disposable substantially in parallel rows and/or columns and orientated in the same upright position for ready viewing, each said panel including a carrier having the following information disposed thereon;
• a. a marginal scale, said scale consisting of suitable indicia representing said time interval, disposed upon said carrier at intervals along the edge of said carrier, said marginal scale identically disposed on each said carrier,
• b. a plurality of separate and physically independent, self-sufficient and self-contained, main charts, each of said main charts expressing an essential element of said information, said main charts disposed, one after the other, along the length of said carrier, each of said main charts containing at least one of the same forms of information, said forms of information positioned within said main chart identically from chart to chart, said forms of information limited in number, to facilitate comparison of the content of each of said forms of information within each panel and between said panels, said information within each main chart related to the occurrence of a particular event within said time interval,
• c. means for referencing each said particular event described in each said main chart to the location along said marginal scale representing the point within said time interval when said particular event took place, said referencing means identical in form for each said main chart,
• said identical position and same forms of information in each main chart, said identical marginal scales along the edge of said panel and said identical means for referencing each said particular event to the marginal scale combining to facilitate the comparison of the particular events described in each of the main charts both within and between panels.
