A FURTHER NOTE ON THE ECONOMICS OF CATALOGUE CARD REPRODUCTION

Abstract

The recent article on the economics of catalogue card reproduction by A. G. Mackenzie contains a number of observations in the use of offset litho which are completely at variance with experience in the University Library of Newcastle upon Tyne. The decision was taken early in 1964 to introduce unit cards and to seek a speedy method of reproducing them. As the University was new only in the matter of its charter there was no direct non‐recurrent grant from UGC to meet costs. The Friden Flexo‐writer was out of the question and after examining the available systems, the choice finally settled on the Multilith Model 80.
