Patient record transmittal form Coding System A coding method was established for tabulating entries on the trans- mittals in order to simplify key punching and to eliminate the need for a large volume of alphabetic information in core storage. It also simplified computer program logic and reduced machine processing time. Each test product was assigned a two-digit number called group number. The subjects were assigned three-digit numbers called subject number. A scale for evaluations to record severity of each condition under study was included and is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Entries in spaces provided for doctor's comments, previously used hair and scalp products, and the subject's recorded likes and dislikes about the test product were all assigned two-digit numbers for coding. Through the use of this coding system, the printed reports were far more comprehens- ible in that they were not cluttered with verbose descriptions,
