A method for rapidly and accurately evaluating the number of errors in a test document typed by a test applicant makes use of an original sample master sheet having subject matter imprinted on it in conventional type with margins and spacing established by rule. There is a duplicate of the original master sheet printed in the same type in white ink on a transparent check sheet having identical margins and spacing to those for the master sheet.The test document is typed in black ink of the same type by the person whose skill is to be tested, using the same margins and spacing as directed for the original master sheet.The transparent check sheet is placed over the test document with edges of the sheets in alignment. The white typed subject matter should be in alignment with the black typed subject matter. Errors are revealed by non-aligned black portions of the typed letters on the test document where they do not perfectly match the white letters. If horizontal or vertical alignment of words is out of register, the error is noted and words then aligned with each other.All words having one or more black portions visible adjacent the white overlying words are tabulated as a record of errors. |

A U-shaped member is detachably engaged with the upper end of an elongate support member, the lower end of which embraces the shoulder of a student. The U-shaped member receives the back of the student's head and includes a forwardly extending leg to restrict movement of the head from a predetermined direction. The device prevents the student from observing his hands during the practice of manual dexterity exercises. The U-shaped member is pivotally movable for disengagement with the head. |

A typewriter and the like utilized as an instructional aid device has control means for teaching alphabetical letter recognition, the sequence of letters in forming words and the association of a word to the picture of an object. A coded card, the preferred control means, carries the word related to the object, and optionally the picture of the object, and includes a series of perforations related to the word, which perforations are adapted to be penetrated by attachments carried on the key bars only when a key is struck in proper sequence. If an incorrect key is struck the device does not function. Card advancing means are provided to advance the card after each correct key is struck in proper sequence. In the absence of a control card, the typewriter and the like can be operated in a conventional manner. |

Apparatus for instructing the operator of a data system machine, such as a multiple row keyboard adding machine of an add-punch system. Instructions for each line of the source document are on a suitable optical medium, such as a rotary drum or a film strip. A line of instructions for a given line to be completed on the document is displayed in view of the operator, and the display is automatically advanced to the next succeeding line of instructions when the line on the document is encoded and the document likewise advanced to the next line. The lines of instructions on the medium are grouped into programs corresponding to the various types of source documents to be accommodated, each program being selectable by the operator. After completion of encoding at the end of a selected program, the display automatically returns to the first line of instruction of the selected program in readiness for the next document of that type to be prepared.

A computer aided instruction system includes a keyboard driver and an instruction renderer. The keyboard driver is configured to retrieve a keyboard input from a user before the application receives the keyboard input, and the instruction renderer is configured to execute a computer aided instruction tutorial to instruct the user to input a specific key or key combination. The keyboard driver is further configured to transmit the keyboard input to the instruction renderer to evaluate whether the one or more keystrokes matches the specific key or key combination. |
