Summary
editDescriptionUniscope stroke generation of characters.png |
English: The Uniscope 100 was a communications terminal (screen and keyboard) designed for connecting to a UNIVAC computer system. It used a cathode ray tube as a screen on which alphanumeric characters were displayed. Early models of the Uniscope, such as the 100, directly controlled the CRT's electron gun to draw the characters as vector-graphic "strokes" on the screen. This is unlike the more well-known bitmap displays whose characters were made up of dots ("pixels").
This image is based on the Figure 4.1 from the Uniscope 100 Terminal Description from 1973, published by Unisys. It was originally captioned, "Figure 4-1. Stroke Generation Method Example (Characters D g shown)". Here is a brief excerpt from the relevant paragraph:

Created as a vector graphic in Inkscape, but Wikimedia's SVG renderer (as of 2022) cannot handle textpaths, so I have uploaded it as a bitmap PNG image for now. (Which is rather ironic, given what the picture is about.)
