Abstract
Engineering drawings stored on aperture cards are scanned by a new 3500 element CCD (Charge Coupled Device). The image, now in digital form, is delivered to a printer/plotter for full size recovery. The scanner-printer link may be a standard data cable or the compressed image may be transmitted via modem, microwave, or satellite for delivery anywhere in the world.
