Abstract: A new information display system for the student, the technician and the general public which arranges consolidated information in a visual presentation form for rapid and comprehensive understanding. The system interrelates dependent or independent data or operational information, in a fashion that facilitates action or learning, through five basic operations: (1) defining the limits of bodies of information that concern given classes of objects or actions by identifying the fixed and variable factors related to the users' needs; (2) dividing each body of information into open movable vertical display panels that present the minimum amount of information needed for selection or action; (3) dividing each panel into a plurality of charts that summarize standardized data, recommendations and facts; (4) adding to the side of any such panel a marginal scale that characterizes a common factor such as space or time; (5) rearranging ad-hoc panels side by side to answer the users' needs for more complex comparisons.
