This 4-page document, including a hardware block diagram, authored by McMillin, was a feasibility/cost-analysis study of designing and building an auto-fed high-speed high-resolution digital scanning system to capture and store (in an archival data-base) the digital images of 8.5 x 11.0" sheet-size documents. Refer to the Block Diagram for a simplified view of the concept. The archival DVD Folder 1978_10_03_JVM DIGITIZER Estimate contains JPEG-image scans of the four pages, and an MS Word file 1978_03_10_JVM Graphics Digitizer_WLC_ORG.doc. Word Printout included. The purpose was to avoid or nearly eliminate new dark-room artwork, and manual labor, for each new MRC test-booklet. Thus, when a new test booklet was to be created - often containing 32 individual stapled pages or more - the individual graphics (dog, cat, house, car, whatever) required for the new booklet could be called up with software, and sent to automatic printing-plate equipment, then on to the printing presses. The study showed that the cost and engineering time of implementing such a complex system was prohibitive in the 'early high-cost days' of high-resolution scanning arrays and hard-disk storage, which existed in the late 1970's. Nearly $250K for what would cost far less today!
