Abstract
Practical suggestions are given for preparing short technical talks that are designed for maximum information exchange. The coordinated use of figures to complement the text is discussed, and rules for numbers and types of figures are proposed. The needs of the listener are stressed and examples are given of preferred combinations of text and figures, particularly from the listener's point of view. The problem of timing is emphasized and rules are proposed for estimating the presentation time of a given amount of material or conversely for fitting material into a given time slot. Suggestions for improving clarity and efficiency of effort are briefly reviewed.
