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.
ABSTRACTS OF RECENT U. S. PATENTS

The picture is supported by means of end clamp devices which permit the picture to be shifted away from the pad with the plate when the plate is raised preparatory to a subsequent animated picture operation. Successive pictures are produced and then photographically reproduced upon a film in proper sequence so that when the film is projected the object will appear to move on the projection screen.
