Telephone dialing system

A system for dialing a telephone, comprising:

• a planar card having a planar handle portion at one end for use as a handle and in carrying identifying indicia and a contiguous, planar code portion at the other end with holes therethrough at locations identifying a sequence of codes to be dialed on a telephone, the location of the holes being at intersections of parallel columns and parallel rows transverse thereto, the columns corresponding to the sequence of the codes and the rows corresponding to all the codes which may be dialed on the telephone in any sequence of the codes;
• card-reading means for providing signals corresponding to the sequence of the codes to be dialed identified on the card, the card-reading means having a signal-carrying line for each row on the card of the codes which may be dialed in any sequence of the codes, first card-receiving means for receiving the code portion of the card, cooperative means cooperative between the received code portion of the card and the signal-carrying lines for providing a signal on each line corresponding to a code identified on the card, and sequencing means for providing the signals from the cooperative means on the single carrying lines in the sequence identified on the card;
• dialing means for dialing the telephone in response to the signals on the signal carrying lines;
• and,
• for an indicia sheet having opposite, planar sides with the identifying indicia on one of the sides when the other side is superposed on the handle portion of the card, a first transparent plastic sheet for superposition on the indicia sheet attached to the handle portion of the card along only a portion of the periphery of the first transparent sheet for forming a pocket between the first transparent plastic sheet and the card for receiving and retaining the indicia sheet on the card.
