The first stage in the data collection is the punching of paper tape on the teletype. For proof-reading and error correcting, the Dialect pes may be converted into File tapes in the format of ' 6 D, as shown in Figure 3. So each entry on the Line pe is still 22 characters or 11 words long, even though ly 20 characters are displayed. 6 D is modified from LAP 6 in two ways. The left margin is moved 4 positions to the left so that each entry will exactly fit one line.
Plore space is allotted for files on both the systems tape and the file tape.
According to my present understanding, each dialect tape is just about the size that a sinfrle file can accommodate. We can use the full set of meta commands for such files as well as the editing conveniences. The resultant ACDialect tape has the structure also shown in Figure 4. Notice that positions 17 through 32 correspond to 7 through 22 in entry structure of Dialect tape illustrated in Figure 2. Finally, it vrill be useful for certain problems to have the result in the form of a set of logographs.
