Michael Hiles Posted June 2, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2012 Interesting device. Seems to have many elements of the Reprovit IIa, plus some things electronic. Any additional explanations... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted June 3, 2012 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2012 There was a mania for copying 'vital' documents onto microfilm in the 60s, I spent many tedious hours with a similar device made by Kodak copying my employers industrial specs and procedures to be stored down a mine in case WW3 happened. All a waste of course, processes are now obsolete and the company long since out of business due to the 'sales' dept only seeming able to sell the rights to manufacture to (ultimate) competitors rather than actual product to consumers Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted June 3, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks. I wonder how mircofilm is used these days. My understanding is that B&W film is still the most long lived, permanent and secure method of document storage. The down side is that microfilm is not searchable.

gyoung Posted June 3, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 3, 2012 I still have one of the negs I took then, its a map I was interested in personally, last time I looked it was perfect. But then any properly processed silver halide b&w neg should be, its just silver on an inert backing. Unless its a nitrate base of course!!
