| On December 4, 1964, IBM announced
four microfilm products -- two unique in the microfilm
industry -- that gave the company's line of Micro-Processing
equipment a new systems capability for automated
information handling. The machine operator at left
inspects the input side of the Micro-Copier/Reproducer
-- a unit that produced both punched holes and microfilm
images from a punched card with a frame of microfilm
to another Micro-Processing card. To the left of
the woman is the console-style diazo copier -- the
only diazo film copier in its price range that in
one step copied images from roll microfilm to punched
cards as well as from card to card. IBM's Micro-Processing
system was used with punched card accounting equipment
such as the interpreter (extreme left) and sorter
(center). Next to the sorter is IBM's copier for
thermal film, which was developed by heat and light
rather than chemicals. The key punch operator at
extreme right scans the Micro-Viewer with roll film
attachment to obtain descriptive data to be punched
onto a master aperture card. The Micro-Processing
System combined the space saving method of storing
documents with the advantages of processing and
retrieving data on punched cards. |
