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.

opaque screens will form at these points and intercept the projection of the colour. Thus a black image is obtained which, upon being projected through the tri-colour screens, produces a negative image, the colours of which are complementary to those of the object. There are many difficulties in the way of the use of these negatives for printing the positives ; these depend partly on the fact that the « craped » surface of the film on which the copies are printed requires a slightly different focus to that of the negative film. A correct positive is obtained, moreover, only by the direct inversion of the negative. Thus the process can be used only where a single copy is required, as in the case of amateur films. For this reason the Keller-Dorian Berthon process has so far only been used for such purposes, great perfection being attained in this line by the Kodak Pathe Company in its Kodak Colour Film. But the research which is now being actively pursued with a view to perfecting this process justifies the hope that it may lend itself to a wider industrial application in the more or less near future.
