- Order received.
Order received 21 Mar 2003, after 9 days
Two large rolls of microfilm, delivered by my friendly postman!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Microfilm processing
The microfilm was cut into strips of 3 frames each and
two strips inserted into one microfiche jacket.
Details were written onto each jacket title strip and
the jacket inserted into a microfiche envelope.
About 170 jackets+envelopes fit beautifully into
one card index box, sold by W H Smith.
Jackets are 152 mms x 103 mms
and cost about 13p each and envelopes 2p.
The combination of microfilm, jackets, envelopes and box
make a film library that will last a lifetime
and will not become technologically obsolete
in ten years like PCs, CDs and software.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Microfilm viewing
One jacket can be loaded into a standard microfiche reader
like a conventional microfiche.
