Patent Granted for Color Text Display

Collection

Description

This article by Jim Edlin discusses Edmund Skellings' patented color text system, its applications and implications. Edlin explains, "The official title of the patented system is 'Color Language Teaching Method And Display And Process For Creating The Display,' but Skellings prefers using his trademarked term, 'The Binemic System,' a coinage derived from 'binary' and 'phoneme'". Edlin wrote a followup article based on an interview with Skellings.
