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.

A copper-clad sheet of ploslic, on which electronic circuits will be printed by photography, is highly polished before the light-sensitive emulsion is applied. This gloss negative will be used to produce an unlimited number of accurate replicas in an automatic photo- printing machine. In this heat tank, the sensitized copper-clad plastic sheet is dried rapidly under a bank of infra-red lamps and over a row of gas burners. Here, the sheet of printed circuits, with all unwanted areas etched away by an acid bath, goes into a bake oven, as one of the final production steps.
