    image sensor means, mounted in the housing, for sensing the image of a document, the image sensor means providing an electrical signal data stream representative of the images of a document;

    processor means, mounted in the housing and responsive to the electrical signal data stream from the image sensor means, for storing the electrical signal data stream representing the images of a single document in a memory;

    display means, mounted on the housing and responsive to the processor means, for displaying one of the images of the document being sensed by the image sensor means and the image of a document previously stored in the memory;

    input means, mounted on the housing and connected to the processor means, for providing input signals to the processor means to initiate the recording of images of a document and the retrieval of images from the memory for display on the display means;

    the processor means including means for linking a succession of images each representing the image of a discrete document input to the processor means into a sequential linked list of images in the memory; and

    the input means further including;

    bidirectional input means, mounted on the housing, for supplying forward and rearward recall signals, when actuated, to the processor means to initiate first and second opposed sequential displays, respectively, on the display means of the images of documents stored in the memory in the order of the linked list of the images.
