Abstract

A key arrangement for a telephone including a common plane in which all of the keys are arranged, the plane having a radial focal point and a peripheral area about the focal point. A set of twelve independently manually actuable keys are arranged in the plane with each key having an upper contact surface. Ten of the keys are arranged radially on the peripheral area of the plane about the focal point of the plane along a path defining a closed curve. Two keys are located at opposite sides of the radial focal point. Each key also has means for tactily indicating its position with respect to the other keys including the cross sectional shape of the upper contact surface of each key having a slope indicating the radial location from the central axis of the key arrangement.
