Abstract: A console for keyboard editing and correcting of text, such as newspaper copy, displayed on the screen of a cathode ray tube. The encoded text copy is recirculated in a refresh memory having a large capacity dynamic shift register and a small capacity random access memory where various editing and correcting changes may be made. The text displayed on the cathode ray screen may be "rolled up" or "rolled down" one line at a time as the editing proceeds. Any selected block of the text may be transmitted from the output of the recirculating memory to an output device, such as a punch, and deleted from the refresh memory at the same time.
