In this full duplex card reader/printer, a transport mechanism carries a card first past a read head at a constant rate and then incrementally past a printer. Under microprocessor control a message is printed on the card which is responsive to data read from the same card. A first transducer associated with the drive transport mechanism provides "read sprocket" pulses that are utilized by the microprocessor to ascertain the presence under the read head of a card data column. Stepping of the card past the printer is enabled by the microprocessor when a responsive message is ready for printing. As the card is stepped to each new print position, a "move sprocket" pulse is transmitted to the microprocessor. The microprocessor then compares the next message character with the character available for printing, as indicated by a set of pulses supplied from the printer. When these are the same, the microprocessor generates a command to print the character.

A solar energy panel comprises a support upon which silicon cells are arrayed. The cells are wafer thin and of two geometrical types, both of the same area and electrical rating, namely hexagon cells and hourglass cells. The hourglass cells are composites of half hexagons. A near perfect nesting relationship of the cells achieves a high density packing whereby optimum energy production per panel area is achieved.
