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.

Figures three and four show it closed and opened. The movement is produced by an electric motor, the contact of which is shown in figure four on the left below ; there is also a meter, a tachometer and a punch to stamp the films, besides the Fig. 3 already mentioned finder which can be used while filming and is completely free from parallax. As is shown by figure 4, the two vertical reels, which include a hundred and twenty metres of film, are fixed at the sides of the apparatus. The film is adapted to the horizontal passage channel by means of two rollers. Their movement is not regulated by clamps but by an accurate maltese cross gearing, allowing the use of a shutter with an opening to two hundred and thirty degrees. The ordinary apparatus for non-colored filming have much smaller apertures so that less light is needed for the formation of the image. The same frequency of images therefore causes a stronger illumination of the film, which is exactly what is required, as the films absorb a great deal of light. The images taken this way are better connected in the projection and are therefore less disunited. The shutter could not be installed between the objective and the film, as is usual ; but had to be placed before the objectives in order to obtain an absolutely synchronous opening and closing of the optical systems relating to the partial images. — 274
