A flexible surface disc device serves as the basis for the design of a computer operated multi-user shared hardware audio response system. The device employs a slow moving flexible, air supported surface in contact with a large number of heads. Relatively instantaneous distribution of audio from any portion of the disc to the users in accomplished through pulse amplitude and digital techniques. Analog recording and fixed heads in contact with the flexible surface allow for a reasonable recording capacity and general design economy. A simple scheme for switching heads electronically permits recording messages longer than one turn of the disc. In the report, a description of a system currently under development is presented by means of a brief account of its components and its operation during recording and playback. Some of the salient aspects of the design of the overall system and the new disc component are also included. (Author)
