Abstrakt: The retrieval system described was designed for a collection of approximately six ten thousand documents of a wide subject range. After an analysis of the available cheap forms of manual information retrieval systems a unique method of combining coordinate indexing, togetherer with mcbee keysort aperture cards was developed. This method also has the capability of quickly reproductig the results of a search by the use of the keysort cards as duplicating masters and a special handiprinter. The system was proved to be eminently pratical in operation, and its main advantages were its simplicity, the clerical and professional staff time-saving it offered,and the opprtunities for deep analysis of subject matter that it offered [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
