35mm.

are produced by a vendor using TIF images that we FTP to them.

4. If so, what camera/equipment do you use? None, we had a planetary

We never had any trouble procuring cards before.

records on aperture card microfilm?) Yes,we have a large repository at
records services and there are dupes in some operating areas.

are currently implementing content management so drawings will be
available electronically in most cases.

We have an IDEAL scanner for cards also.

10. Are you aware there are national and international standards for
microfilm aperture cards? Of course.
