Definitions

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION COLUMN WRITING FOR FAST AND SUPER FAST READING This present invention refers to Column Writing, a method of text production using printing elements or any other type of installation, such as offset, projectors etc. in which the words are arranged in columns.
the printing technique used today illustrates the writ ⁇ ing of the respective hand written texts, on which the words of the text are arranged in straight l nes, with the following word placed on the right hand side of the previous one. Therefore the so called “rows" are formed which, provided the text is single columned, they begin from the left page offset and end up at the respective limit of the right page offset.
IV.- Reading speed is small since, as mentioned above, the lateral distance travelled by the eye while reading the text takes more time, as that distance travelled equals to twice the total length of all rows of the text. Reading speed is reduced further by the delays of eye movement at the beginning and at the end of rows as well as by the delays during the numerous adjustment of the eye lenses in order to achieve clear vision.
set of printing elements the sum of printing elements or other forms of printing elements, such as light sensitive tin plates, films etc.. by which a specific word is printed on paper or produced on any other surface.
This present invention consists of a specific arrange ⁇ ment of the above mentioned “sets of printing elements” from which a column form of text is derived, with sig ⁇ nificant advantages for the reader.
Figure -a and b illustrate the arrangement of the various sets of printing elements by which the successive ⁇ sive words of the text are produced using the method of Column Writing, by which the respective texts are produced as suggested by this method.
Fig. a' and Fig. b' illustrate the Column form of text as it is actually produced on texts by the sets of printing elements of figures a and b.
the "set of printing elements" is arranged into parallel to each other straight lines, on the same level .
Each set of printing elements of a single word is ar ⁇ ranged on its own, on one of the above straight lines.
the "sets of printing elements" of two successive words of a phrase are arranged into successive lines.
the "set of printing elements” of the word leading the phrase is arranged on the top line, while, the "set of printing elements” of the following word is arranged on the line below.
Certain "sets of printing elements" may be differen ⁇ tiated with regard to font, printing colour, or back ⁇ ground, so that they can be read selectively by the reader.
the words produced by them are selected by the author of the text aiming to transfer to the reader some message, some impression, the general meaning of text or anything else the author wishes to.
This selective read ⁇ ing allows a very fast reading of text and can be used in column writing as well as in other types of text writing. (Fig. b' , Fig. c).
the reading of those texts written in Column Writing is carried out from top to the bottom of the page, starting on the first word arranged at the top of the column. While reading, the eye of the reader follows the straight and short travel of the symmetry axis of the column without turning the eyeballs towards the left or
