CONTROL PANELS VERSUS VIDEO DISPLAY UNITS

The paper poses the question "Panels" or "Video Display Units" and, in an endeavour to enable listener or reader to come to his own solution, the Author describes these two modes of system control, providing details of both the advantages and disadvantages of each. He discusses such items as original cost, together with maintenance and running costs. The cost of making alterations is also included and because the use of Video Display Units is relatively new, some possible variations of system control are elaborated. At the end there is still an unresolved conflict, but the author offers a possible best solution.
