We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Microscopy will profit immeasurably by mechanigraph treatment. Straight microcinematography is at best only fairly successful in portraying the subject matter. Cross-section mechanigraphs, many times enlarged over the extreme limits of the microcinematograph and many times more graphic and clear, are able to give microscopic subjects and activities a new meaning upon the screen.
Physics, chemistry, mechanics and other phases of mathematics, biology, astronomy and architecture are but a few pedagogical subjects selected at random of the many the teaching of which may be enhanced by this medium.
The mechanigraph process finds its readiest application in commercial and industrial films. Their capacity for the development of microscopic studies, for example, find commercial expression in explaining how paint, which is revealed under enlargement to consist of long fibres holding the substance together, is absorbed into the pores of wood or holds on to the rough surface of what appears to the unaided eye as polished metal, or how bacteria develops in fruit and vegetables canned improperly and how^ the proper type of jars and rubbers will prevent the development of the destructive germs.
Dull, uninteresting statistics and diagrams, plans and organization and policy charts can be brought to life by mechanigraphs.
Selling and merchandising as well as teaching and general education and entertainment have acquired by mechanigraphs a new, powerful and efficient medium which is as far advanced beyond ordinary cinematography for attaining certain desired results as the ordinary cinematograph is advanced beyond the older methods of the oral or written word.
