Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel control elements for statistical machines and more particularly relates to control records for such machines which are provided with coded data designations, said designations being formed in different colors on the different records, said data designations adapted to control the operations of the said machines in accordance with the numerical values and the color values imparted to the designations.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of statistical machine control records having differently colored light modifying data designations disposed thereon and wherein different classes of data are represented by the differently colored designations.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of imperforate statistical machine control records having differently colored light modifying data designations disposed thereon and wherein the coded designations represent the values of the data and the color of the designations denotes predetermined classifications of the data.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of statistical machine control records having differently colored light modifying data designations disposed thereon and wherein the said designations are formed in different positions along the record to represent by their positions the value of the data.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of statistical machine control records which comprise photographic records having light modifying data designations formed thereon in different colors.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in theprovision of statistical machine control records which comprise photographic film records having light modifying data designations disposed thereon in the form of differently colored control spots.
  • a further object of the present invention resides in the provision of a novel control record for a statistical machine which is of such form as tobe extremely compact whereby a larger amount of control and correlated data may be disposed upon a smaller controlling element than heretofore.
  • novel photographic control records are presented successively to a single analyzing or sensing station whereat the novel control records are transilluminated so that the differently colored data designations are sensed and effective to control or condition suitably arranged light responsive means in accordance with the color of the sensed designations.
  • the colored light rays set up by the control spots or data designations are directed to a plurality of photocells by means of light conducting rods, the,said photocells are provided with different color filters so that one of, them is effective to absorb or block off the color rays from the associated photocell and thus condition the said photocell to render a suitable amplifying means operative for control purposes.
  • control element2ll shown therein is a fragmentary section of a continuous strip of photographic color film
  • One type of color film which is suitable for the purposes described, in the instant application is the Agfacolor film which comprises a single unitary film structure consisting of a support upon which is coated in thin superimposed layers a plurality of light sensitive emulsions, each particularly sensitive to One of the primary colors.
  • the Agfacolor film which comprises a single unitary film structure consisting of a support upon which is coated in thin superimposed layers a plurality of light sensitive emulsions, each particularly sensitive to One of the primary colors.
  • the spot representations 2! represent suitable classification data and the spot representations represent amount data.
  • the data represented by the reference character 23 is shown merely for interpreting the associated coded control spots and are not used for controlling machine operations in the instant application. Assume that the data shown in the individual records a and b are formed in red color, the data in record 0 in blue, the data in record d in green, and the data in record e in black.
  • the spot representations 2i and 22 are photographic machine control spot representations and each set of numerical data comprises one or more control spots in such relative position, in different columnar areas, upon the film record as to represent by their relative position thereon the numerical control value thereof.
  • such numerical spot representations are shown on the film in index point relation in general conformance with the manner in which index perforations are disposed on perforated record cards in the Hollerith accounting system. That is, the differential position of a control spot representation delineates the numerical value of a particular numeral. This will be clear by referr'ng to the figure and particularly record a wherein the data represented by the designations or control spots 22 represent the amount twentyseven.
  • the completed film has photographic reproductions thereon at successively spaced intervals along the film and that the reproductions are in extremely compact form, accordingly, a large quantity of statistical information can be placed on an extremely small controlling record.
  • the description to follow relates to the method of and means for analyzing the colored data designations on the photographic records.
  • Fig. 2 the method of analyzing the colored control spots formed on the film will now be explained briefly. Assume that the film 20 is advanced in the direction shown by the arrow past the sensing station which is represented by an aperture 25 in the opaquemember 26: and that the color of the control spot presented to the said sensing station is red. Light rays emanating from a suitable source 21 are directed by the condenser 28 to the aperture 25 to permeate the section of the film presented to the said aperture. The red rays transmitted by the control spot are directed to different photocells 29a, 29b and 290 by means of the light conducting means comprising a threeway quartz rod member 30.
  • Suitable light ray filters ii to 33 are disposed between the individual legs of the quartz rod member and the associated photocells.
  • is a cyna color filter designed to pass the different colored rays excepting red rays which are absorbed by this filter
  • the filter 32 is a yellow color filter permitting the colored rays with the exception of green to pass therethrough
  • the filter 33 is a. magenta color filter permitting the colored rays with the exception of blue to pass therethrough.
  • the red light rays are directed by the individual legs of the quartz member 30 to the individual filters 3
  • the cyna and yellow filters permit the rays to be transmitted to photocells 29a and 29b, respectively, whereas no blue light rays are transmitted by the magenta filter to the photocell 25c, and upon sensing a green control spot light rays are transmitted to photocells 29a and 290 but not to photocell 29b.
  • a black control spot is presented to the sensing station light rays are transmitted to all three photocells, namely Z'Sa to 29C.
  • a control element provided with data designations and adapted for use in multidenominational order statistical machines, said control element comprising a record having columns of I light modifying designations which are differentially disposed therein so as to represent by their positions in the columns the values of the desig: nations, and the said light modifying designations being formed in a predetermined color for representing by such color a predetermined classification of the data.
  • a control element for controlling statistical machines comprising a record having a columnar area with a light modifying designation differentially disposed therein so as to represent by its position therein the value of the designation, and the said light modifying designation being formed in a predetermined color for representing by such color a predetermined classification or the value or the said light modifying designation.
