ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and a method for controlling the operation of mechanical or other equipment having a plurality of information storage members arranged in preselected positions in an array and an actuatable information retrieval mechanism movable relative to the array wherein selective access to the information of any one of such storage members can be achieved by generating output signal groups representing, respectively, the position of a selected storage member and its number in the array, whereby simplified counting techniques can be used to store such number and thereafter use it for positioning said retrieval mechanism adjacent to the selected member itself for effecting the readout of the information on the member. The unit uses solid state electronic elements to minimize cost and to provide for optimum reliability. The invention is adapted for a number of different uses but is especially adapted for use in controlling a phonograph unit having a plurality of record disks or magnetic tape means on which is recorded a number of musical selections or the like.
