[T2] parts manual

[Kevin Guarnotta]

Wow – sounds like a ton of images – 800 slides x 625 pages/slide  = 500,000 pages. Even if half the slides were empty – you are still talking 250,000 images. One quote I got for regular fiche was $.025/image. Which works out to about $6,250. Too rich for my blood.

I talked to one company today – who knew of this size of fiche, but had never worked with it. He gave me the name of another company – The Crowley Company. Supposedly they recently bought out the one company in the states that probably handled this type of stuff. I have called them and given them as much info as you gave me – and they are looking into it. They may have the capability – but the salesperson may not know. I’ll call them again to follow up. (I didn’t use the term DIN fiche, I’ll try that now).

On my phone, too. If they don't already know what DIN fiche is, they can't do it. Flat bed scanner,  but it needs hi reso. 600 x 600 / 25= 24 lines per inch.you will have blurs.

I think you will find VERY FEW that will accommodate the large DIN size slides.
Readers are few and far between. IN this country VW, Porsche- Audi and BMW were likely the only ones used the big size. Maybe Daimler -Benz. They make it very hard to obtain their parts books.
These appear to be 25 by 25= 625 pages per slide Many are not full.

Any academic library will have a microfiche reader that can either go to digital directly or go to paper first and then be scanned to digital. Maybe paying someone to do it is a trivial amount, but if not I imagine someone in the discussion is in a town with an academic library. If not, I'd be glad to volunteer to do the grunt work.

Can you give me any more info on the slides? Ie the type/size.

I don’t really know anything about microfiche – but vaguely recall using it at the library as a kid ;)

This site has some pricing info - http://www.microfilmworld.com/microfilmscanningandimagingservices.aspx
I would think there is not a large difference in pricing between vendors. If I understand it correctly, it look slike $.08/slide for microfiche to 200 dpi. I think for line drawings we would want 300 DPI, so some extra charges. If you can give me the details of the fiche, than I can source getting them scanned – and pricing.

What are on your microfiches slides?

Thanks,

Actually, I think I have 800+ microfiche slides. If someone wanted to copy them, I can lend them. I intend to give them to Everett Barnes so he can get them on line.
I've got the service ones, too. don't know if there is any type 2 stuff on them. They are on US size slides.
