Abstract
Ninke (Ref.1) has reviewed the different approaches which have been taken to the design of computer configurations having graphical input-output. Since the advent of single display consoles attached to a large computer (DAC-1 and Sketchpad) development has aimed at allowing more consoles to be attached to a large central computer, minimising the hardware and operating costs of each console and allowing the location of consoles to be remote from the computer. In GRAPHIC-1 (Ref.2) a small general-purpose computer was interposed between the central computer and the display console; Ward (Ref.3) describing the ESL Display at M.I.T., also concluded that a small computer must be used between a display console and a central time-shared computer.
