I am curious how many organizations still use microfilm aperture cards.
If you do, please take a few moments and answer the following questions.
Reply to the list or directly to me, whichever you prefer. I will
summarize for the list.
1. Does your organization use aperture cards? Yes, extensively for disaster
recovery and active reference in some operations.
2. If so, what size microfilm do you load/mount in/on the cards? All 35mm.
3. Does your organization still produce aperture cards? Very little, most
cards are produced by a vendor using images that we FTP to them.
4. If so, what camera/equipment do you use? The only devices we now use are
3M planetary processor cameras.
5. Are you still able to procure cards for loading or mounting the
microfilm? I assume you mean punching and printing the Hollerith code. We
do have equipment for that (also 3M).
6. If so, what brand or supplier do you use? I think we still use 3M cards.
7. Does your organization still have aperture card repositories (i.e.
records on aperture card microfilm?) Yes, we have a large centralized
engineering file room for our non-nuclear facilities. Each nuclear site has
a central aperture card filing area and there are numerous satellite files
for our wires business.
8. If so, are the cards accessed? Yes, but less frequently as we have more
access to electronic images.
9. What reader or reader-printer do you use? We use Minolta and Tameran
reader printers along with Oce aperture card scanners.
10. Are you aware there are national and international standards for
microfilm aperture cards? Absolutely.
