 A diagram of the keyboard. The columns of blue keys on the left are for the top 24 destinations from the machine's home location and are therefore individually programmed for each location. Note the keyboard is arranged alphabetically rather than the more conventional Qwerty arrangement. This makes APTIS very awkward to use for the computer literate generation.!
