Estimating the term…
A desk top justifying text writing composing machine including automatic encoding and reading control means for operating a desk top justifying reproducing machine, or for operating larger and more sophisticated printing machines capable of automatic justification. The machine will produce unjustified typed lines and will automatically encode for controlling another machine to print justified lines, as a result of a single series of manuel keyboard composing operations and automatic code controlled reproducing operations for producing a justified copy of a literal text, respectively. The machine includes a delete key and automatic deleting and back spacing means that reverses the machine and deletes codes from a code medium according to previously encoded information for back space correction purposes. The machine operates much like a normal office typewriter and may be operated by a person with a little more than normal typewriting skills for encoding a justified corrected text and function control codes. The operator need not be concerned with the set width of characters or spaces in order to back space and delete, since the deleting and back spacing is performed accurately and automatically upon depression of the sngle delete key. Coordinated back spacing of the literal text operations, reversing of functions and automatic deleting of the individual respective codes is performed automatically in accordance with the codes previously encoded and then being deleted on the code medium. Thus, there can be no error between the forward and delete operations.
A justifying, text writing composing apparatus, wherein information for a justified reproduction is automatically encoded on a code medium in response to the typing and completing of a line of text, comprising composing means including function operation means and character operation means as well as coding means, a first connecting means operatively interposed between said function and character operation means and said coding means for encoding the text and function information representing the actuation of said function and character operation means, said coding means comprising a first encoder for encoding the text and function information on said code medium and a justifying encoder for encoding justifying information in said code medium, means for advancing said code medium through said coding means, said justifying encoder being located downstream of said first encoder relative to the advance direction of said code medium, a pre-settable right margin means, first counting means for simultaneously and decreasingly counting the number of unit lengths remaining in a line as the line of text extends into a predetermined length justifying area ahead of a right margin controlled by the set position of the right margin means during composition of the line, second counting means for counting the number of word space functions in a line of text, and dividing means as well as means for connecting the dividing means to said first and second counting means for controlling said dividing means to produce justifying information, and a second connecting means for connecting said dividing means to said justifying encoder for encoding said justifying information on said code medium ahead of said text and function information.
The apparatus according to claim 36, wherein said carriage return circuit means comprise end of line code medium control means for controlling the movement of the code medium in response to said carriage return.
A justifying composing machine comprising dividing and encoding means including first and second control means having respective first and second input means, first and second output means connected to said dividing and encoding means, amount left in a line measuring means, commutator means responsive to said amount left in a line measuring means and connected to said first input means of the first control means for energizing said dividing and encoding means in accordance with the amount left in a line representing a dividend word space counting means, means for connecting said word space counting means to said second input means of the second control means for further energizing said dividing and encoding means in accordance with the counted word spaces representing a divisor whereby quotient output signals are produced at said first output means which represent a quotient value and whereby further remainder output signals are produced at said second output means which represent a remainder value.
In a justifying composing machine capable of justifying a plurality of lines of text, an encoding means responsive to the operations of said machine, a line terminating means connected to said encoding means operable for preparing the machine for a new line, and means for preventing operation of said line terminating means connected to said line terminating means and said encoding means when a word space is the last encoded bit of information.
In a justifying and composing apparatus with a fixed length justifying area, text information encoding means for encoding progressive text information, justifying information encoding means for encoding justifying information corresponding to said text information, computing means controlled by the amount left in said fixed length justifying area and the number of word spaces in a line for entering said justifying information, said computing means connected to and controlling said justifying information encoding means, a storage medium in said text information encoding means and in said justifying information encoding means for receiving the encoded text information before the corresponding encoded justifying information with respect to time, with the encoded justifying information being physically stored on said storage medium in front of the corresponding encoded text information.
In a justifying and composing apparatus encoding means for encoding justifying and corresponding text and function information, storage means connected to said encoding means for sequentially storing encoded information, first means connected to said encoding means for entering said text and function information corresponding to an entire line in said storage means on a first-in first-out order with respect only to the encoded text and function information, second means connected to said encoding means for entering said justifying information in said storage means in one instant of time after the corresponding text and function information for an entire line is entered, said second means further comprising means for entering said justifying information in front of the corresponding text and function information for an entire line with respect to the direction of movement of the storage means, and reader means connected to said encoding means and responsive to said second means upon entry of said justifying information for reading out line by line said justifying information from said storage means before the corresponding text and function information.
