The paper gives a qualitative treatment of a novel approach to the production of sequential control systems for mechanical handling devices. A proposition that complex sequences can be broken down into combinations of four standard sequence packages is justified and methods are evolved for interconnecting these standard-sequence packages to form complete systems. Additional benefit in the form of freedom from electrical interference is gained by using the machine actuators alone as memory devices.
