 File — Box: 1
Identifier: 1

Scope and Contents

Dr. Lindquist was approached by this organization earlier in 1961 about the feasibility of MRC designing and building a special OMR-card scoring machine for the League's various tests administered to nursing students. As Technical Project Manager of the MRC Engineering Division, I was assigned the task of drafting a Technical Proposal for their consideration. This 20-page report, plus Appendix, describes the proposed features and performance of such a system. For reasons long forgotten the project never reached fruition, but this document illustrates Dr. Lindquist's desire to 'take on' any reasonable customer for fame and gain! The NLN organization thrives yet today; see URL: http://www.nln.org/
