Abstract: A contact probe assembly is described comprising a motor-driven fine positioning means. The fine positioning means permits the contact probe assembly to move in two directions X and Y which are perpendicular to each other. For positioning several contact probe assemblies, provided with fine positioning means, closely adjacent to each other, the longitudinal axis of each fine positioning means extends perpendicularly to the plane defined by the X and the Y direction. An electromotor is provided for either direction of movement. In one embodiment, fine positioning in either direction is effected by a perpendicularly arranged hollow shaft, the lower end of which is eccentrically shaped, reciprocally moving a carrier slide which is permanently connected to the contact probe assembly. The hollow shaft for moving the contact probe assembly in the Y direction is arranged inside the hollow shaft for movement in the X direction. The travel performed is detected by sensors.

Abstract: Apparatus for printing a selected region of a photographic negative onto a photosensitive paper to form an enlarged and cropped photographic print includes means for projecting the photographic negative onto first and second zoom lenses, each of the zoom lenses having an adjustable magnification. Means are provided for defining, by adjusting the magnification of the first zoom lens, the selected region of the photographic negative to be printed. Means are provided for adjusting, as a function of the magnification of the first zoom lens, the magnification of the second zoom lens so as to image the selected region of the photographic negative onto the photosensitive paper. Further, means are provided for exposing the selected region of the photographic negative through the second zoom lens onto the photosensitive paper for a predetermined period of time.
