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 written or drawn on one side. In this instance, there are pairs of words written in pen on one side (the name of a type of animal paired with an inanimate object). On the other side is a drawing of an object and a part of an object. These do not correspond to the animals or inanimate objects.

For the Ray teaching machine, see accession 1979.0853. For other tapes and the device used in making them, see the rest of accession 1985.0815. For related materials see 1981.0248.
