Hardware Description

The NCR 7200 Model I Data Entry Terminal provides a practical, efficient means of transcribing information directly from source documents to magnetic input media. Data entered through the terminal keyboard is recorded on NCR digital data cassettes in ANSI-standard format for subsequent processing, eliminating many intermediate steps and reducing the possibility of human error. Each character entered is displayed on a 9-inch CRT screen having four (standard) or eight (optional) lines of 32 data characters each. The lower portion of the screen is reserved for operator guidance messages, error alerts, and permanent system and I/O status displays.
