00100	NEW EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THE RESEARCH
00200	
00300		1.   About   7  remote   terminals.   The  type  is  not  yet
00400	determined, but we believe that they should be capable of  displaying
00500	a  good  fraction  of  a  page  of  arbitrary character set text plus
00600	pictures. Such terminals will be economical by  the  time  the  other
00700	aspects are worked out and the utility of many of the applications of
00800	home terminals depend on good quality terminals.   We  only  wish  it
00900	were  feasible  to  include  a  fast, silent, fully capable hard copy
01000	device with  the  terminal.   Perhaps  a  telephone  based  facsimile
01100	machine  will  do for experiments in spite of its slowness. If we can
01200	get them soon enough, a single terminal version of the display system
01300	devised by Peter Wiener at Yale would be good.
01400	
01500		2.  Communication.  For our experimental remote terminals, we
01600	expect to use private lines leased from the telephone company.   They
01700	are available and reasonably economical.
01800	
01900		3. An increase in processing  power  -  a  KI10  or  part  of
02000	Foonly.   The  KI10  is  D.E.C.'s  higher speed version of the PDP-10
02100	processor, and Foonly is a much higher speed processor being designed
02200	in  our  laboratory,but  whether  Foonly  will  be built is presently
02300	uncertain. In either case, this grant would bear only about a quarter
02400	of the cost of the increased processing speed required.
02500	
02600		4.   A  new  multiplexor for our computer to handle low speed
02700	communication channels.
