Description
Part B of "Mobile Data Communications Terminal," a U.S. Marine Corps industrial film explaining the AN/TYC-5A(V) communications terminal. This part, titled "System Procedure & Error Correction," highlights procedures for transmitting communications through the terminal using three distinct formats: paper tape, punch card, and magnetic tape. Processes on the receiving end are also explained as they pertain to each format. The film concludes by noting the terminal's intentional redundancy, which allows each message format to stand in as a backup for another in the event of malfunction or backlog.
