Microfiche

A similar process to microfilm, with the exception that many pages of the manuals are reproduced on one clear sheet of film, measuring approximately 100mm x 150mm (4in x 6in). Each sheet is capable of storing a large number of pages (over 100) of text/drawings and takes up very little space.

The Reader is similar to the microfilm Reader except that the film slide is moved about beneath the viewing lens, until the relevant page appears upon the screen. By simply pressing a button on the machine, a photocopy of the page being viewed can be produced for remote use and once again, any copies should not be retained for future use. Amendment of both this and the microfilm system is by direct replacement with local disposal of the unwanted items.
