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.

Fig. 1. 24-sided polygon and sprocket assembly. filled in order to obtain compensation of film motion. These are : (1) Uniform film velocity. (2) Uniform polygon velocity. (3) Synchronism between (1) and (2). (4) Phase identity between (1) and (2). Isotransport enables all four conditions to be fulfilled simultaneously and automatically, and in fact neither uniform film velocity nor uniform polygon velocity is any longer essential as long as both film and polygon rotate at the same speed. Contained within the rotating polygon is a stationary optical system called a "core." This is shown in Fig. 2. It consists of a stationary platform which carries a number of optical elements essential to the functioning of the system. These elements are first, two plano-convex cylindrical lenses Fig. 2.
