• Abstract:
  Problems associated with the entry of air-ground-air
  
  messages via keyboard for transmission by Data Link
  
  are discussed. The ARINC proposal for a keyboard is
  
  presented, and an alternative method for coding keys
  
  is proposed for comparative evaluation. A sizeable
  
  vocabulary of messages requiring a minimum of keying
  
  is developed and justified. An alternative layout
  
  for a keyboard is proposed and its rationale explained.
  
  Some display problems are noted. Plans for experimental
  
  evaluation of several keyboard codes and layouts are
  
  noted.
