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.

Here, rubbing elbows as they go about their daily duties may be found youthful graduates fresh from America's leading technical colleges, and experienced oldsters who began their professional careers forty, fifty or more years ago with the stil 1 -remembered Anthony or Scovill firms — watching their children grow up to places in the same matured enterprise which has given the parents not merely a job but a lifetime career. Beside these are the thousands of others — men and women alike; trained research scientists and equally skilled film-makers, mechanics, inspectors, paper-makers, and opticians, and all of the hundred-and-one skills and crafts that are called on in the making of modern film, sensitized papers, chemicals and cameras. Unseen behind them stand an army of farmers from the Southern states from whence come the tons of cotton used annually for making the celluloid film-base; lumbermen from the North which produces the raw material for paper; miners from the Western mines which supply the tons of silver used to make film and paper light-sensitive.
