Abstract
A manually movable input/output peripheral device is provided which includes an input/output head or transducer which is manually movable by the user, a guide member which controls the direction of movement of the transducer, and distance measuring device. Data transfer between the transducer and a recording surface is controlled at a rate dependent on the speed which the transducer is moved across the recording surface. Thus, the device is insensitive to variations in operating speed.
