A newly developed multi-ID ARGOS data transfer system for the Polar Patrol Balloon experiment (1990-1993) is described. This system on board the PPBs with a main processor continuously transferred data of about 2kByte/h with great reliability during the entire observation periods (longer than one month). This brief report describes the principle and specifications of the system.
