Storage, Retrieval and Presentation of Microformatted Technical Manual Information
Abstract
The purpose of this documented study was to review microfilm storage and presentation systems/equipment available and tested that could be used to reduce the bulk and increase the usability of current military/commercial technical manual systems. Mainly, mechanical presentation systems/devices, capable of storing micro-reductions of printed technical manual pages, were covered. The basic microformat elements that must be understood and considered when selecting the optimum microfilm system/equipment for a given technical manual program were discussed. Microfilm systems/equipment, applications and tests relative to the mechanical storage and presentation of technical manual information were also reviewed. Finally, new content, format and indexing requirements applicable to microfilmed technical manual systems were critiqued. The study proved that a microfilm system represented the most reliable and cost- effective means currently available for reduction in storage space for technical manuals combined with rapid and inexpensive retrieval and dissemination of the desired information.
