Card reader assembly with manual transducer

摘要: An apparatus constructed to receive a card such as credit having one or more magnetic strips containing coded data. The is inserted in the machine and manually operated latch mechanism carries read head along rail an abutment. A latching element automatically released motive system at constant speed across face of card. readout transmits information connector which may be connected any suitable data processing system. When it energizes contact switch provides activating signal system, through connector. mounted gimbaled frame attached carrier so that can ride with pressure against strip on card, while same time adjusting itself undulations other slight deformations strip. without materials within range prevent danger spurious signals being injected into decoding circuit.
