"DICTATION DISPLAY DEVICE" Abstract Disclosed is a dictation recording system in- cluding a dictate station which has means for generating an end signal and means for recording the end signal on a record medium to delimit the end of a segment of dictation and includes motion signal means for providing a motion signal in response to an increment of the record medium moving past a predetermined reference point. A transport provides for selective- ly moving the record medium in a forward direction and a reverse direction and an end mark detector is provided for detecting a previously-recorded end signal and providing a detected end signal. An improved display apparatus for the dictation station is provided for maintaining a visual representation of the location of the reference point within the present one of a plurality of segments of dictation on the record medium. The apparatus includes direction detecting means for providing a forward signal when the record medium is moving in the forward direction and a reverse signal when the record medium is moving in the reverse direction. Up/down counting means is responsive to the motion signal, the forward signal, and the reverse signal, and is incremented upon each concurrence of the motion signal and the forward signal and decremented upon each concurrence o the motion signal, and the reverse signal. Display means is connected to the counting means for displaying the count maintained by the counting means as the visual representation of the location of the reference point within the present dictation segment. Control means responsive to the detected end signal and the reverse signal render the counting means unresponsive to increment and decrement upon the exit from the present one of a plurality of segments of dictation when moving the record medium in the reverse direction. The inhibit means is further responsive to the detected end signal and the forward signal for rendering the counting means responsive to increment and decrement upon the reentry of the present one of the plurality of segments of dictation when moving the record medium in the forward direction. Thus, the display means is rendered inoperative to display the location of the reference point upon the exit in the reverse direction from the present segment of dictation and until the return in the forward direction to the present segment.
