Abstract
Engineers unfamiliar with data processing may well ask why anyone should wish to read printed characters by machine. Punched paper tape, for instance, is far more compatible with machine language, and can be read with much greater speed and accuracy. However, the reasons for requiring character-recognition machines are well established. This article describes the approach of one manufacturer to the problem of designing character-recognition machines for general-purpose use.Keywords
