Paper Tape for Teaching Machine (Ray Multitester)
Object Details
- Ray, Joseph J.
- Description
- For his teaching machine (known to him as the multitester), Joseph Ray used long strips of cardboard with twenty pairs of words or pairs of images on one side. Occasionally there also were pairs of words or pairs of images on the other side. Ray called these tapes. This appears to be a plan for a tape. It has pairs of words referring to various animals typed in capital letters. Some words are marked with an arrow indicating how they should be centered or raised, others are marked in pen: OK.
