I just love this post from Gary Price’s new site, infodocket.com:
From The Guardian Archive: 54 Years Ago Sales of Microfilm Equipment Showing a “Steady Rise in Sales”
Bank managers, librarians, archivists, and those in charge of filing are realising more and more the value of reducing the information contained in four drawers of a filing cabinet to the size of a packet of cigarettes. It is now possible to buy machines which can photograph cheques at the rate of 350 a minute, or letters at 150 a minute, and reduce the size of the original at the same time by one-fortieth.
All sorts of good stuff at Price’s new sites, http://INFOdocket.com and http://FullTextReports.com
