Abstract
A display for providing visual indications of the lengths of recorded messages, the positions of recorded instructions and the present relative location of a record medium. Three separate arrays are provided for these indications, respectively. Each recorded message may be a letter, note, memo, etc., and is indicated by steady-state energization of segments included in a first (letter) array. 'Priority' messages are represented by a distinctive indication, such as by flashing the appropriate segments in that array. Similarly, 'normal' and 'special' instructions are represented by two different, distinctive indications, such as steady-state and flashing energization of particular segments in a second (instruction) array.
