GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Singer Model 1501 Intelligent Terminal shown in figure 1-1 is a com-
pact desk-top unit that provides all the functions of a mini-computer. It
houses a keyboard slmi1ar to that of a typewriter, a display screen for
efficient fi11-in-the-b1ank type of data entry, two tape drives that
can serve as either input or output units, and a memory that stores the
program that controls operation of the 1501. Various, wide-ranging
functions can be obtained by simply loading different pre-recorded
program tapes and following the instructions given by the program.
Operator controls other than the keyboard include power-on, system reset,
program load, and program interrupt switches. Notification of data entry
errors is both visual on the display screen and audible through a speaker
in the keyboard section.
