The system. <br />requested will enable the users (Register of Deeds, Board of Elections; <br />Finance or Tax Departments, etc.) to create their own data file (records) <br />and to alter this file as transactions occur. This activity is carried <br />out through the use of a typewriter like device attached to a cathode <br />---~ --. . <br />ray-tube.
