Identifier: Box 4

Scope and Contents

The Press-Citizen gave us some publicity about helping to 'cut the trade deficit with Japan' in this February 2, 1977 news item. WLC/MRC had concluded an important business deal to sell several of our W301 OMR Scanners to Mitsubishi Office Machinery, Tokyo, Japan, who in turn, would be selling them to the Japanese Ministry of Education for dramatically upgrading their annual Entrance Exams for their high school seniors to compete for enrollment in the top universities there. I am pictured in this article, and later headed the installation team's trip to Tokyo for acceptance testing and during the first 'live run' of the scanners. The folder on the JVM Archival Media disc is: 1977_02_10_Press Citizen_Trade Deficit_JAPAN. JPEG-image scans and an MS Word file (with transcribed text) of the Press-Citizen article are also included
