Abstract:
An encoding keyboard constructed like that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,635, entitled ''''Keylever Storage Mechanism,'''' issued Apr. 23, 1963, to Leon E. Palmer is provided with a novel dual keylever construction that properly time-sequences up and down shift code entries with respect to character entries. The stroke storage provided in the keyboard of U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,635 is expanded to provide storage for two characters, when necessary, to accommodate the characteristically rapid and arhythmic, three-stroke sequence, ''''upshift-print-downshift.
