電話的按鍵布局是怎么來(lái)的？
[ 2006-12-18 10:35 ]
不知您有沒(méi)有仔細(xì)觀察過(guò)我們天天使用的電話：它的按鍵排列，0是在最下方的。不是應(yīng)該越小的數(shù)字越應(yīng)該排在前面嗎？為什么電話的按鍵布局這么特別呢？下面這篇文章就將為您解釋這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
 Mechanical adding machines, based on rotating
wheels, always have the 0 button adjacent to the 1 button. By convention, most old
adding machines had the numbers increasing in value from the bottom. When the
numbers were put onto a pad arranged as a 3 by 3 grid with one left over, the
order of the numbers was kept the same.
On a rotary telephone dial, the 0 comes adjacent to the 9 because a 0 in the
telephone number is signaled by 10 pulses on the line. When telephones acquired
push buttons in a grid, the ordering of the buttons was carried over from the
old telephone dial.
adjacent: 鄰近的
