Abstract
Abstract A graphic answer input device for a teaching machine comprising successively superimposed parts: a contact-bearing board every contact of which is connected to the logical unit of the teaching machine via two diodes individually connected in the forward direction; a punched card; a current-carrying plate and a problem blank on which the student drafts the required drawing. In the design the diodes belonging to the contacts forming one row are interconnected and form one line, while other diodes belonging to the same contacts of the same row are also interconnected and form another line.
