The universal data transcriber
Marvin S. Maxwell · 1958
The Universal Data Transcriber is a device to convert digital data from one form to another. The input to the system can be cards, paper tape, magnetic tape, or the output of almost any source of digital data that does not exceed 500,000 bits per second. The output of the converter can be cards, magnetic tape, paper tape, low- or high-speed printers, point plotters, or almost any other digital output device. The conversion process allows for very flexible code and format conversion as the data is transcribed from one medium to another.
