Abstract: Automatic machinery, particularly suited for the loading of pre-cut, individual microfilm strips into the storage channels of microfilm jackets, includes a feed roll shaft intermediate of insertion chute means and a loading pedestal carrying the jacket. Respective feed rolls overlie corresponding delivery ends of chutes and the jacket edges leading to channel openings. A film strip is first inserted into a chute and is in registry with the jacket edge. Then, the pedestal is raised upward to press the film between the lower surface of the corresponding feed roll and the jacket edge, whereupon the feed roll is activated to drive the strip into the channel.

Abstract: A medical and/or informational identification credit card has multiple laminar parts partially heat-sealed in a localized area to permit high speed embossment in automatic equipment, whereupon a customized informational part, such as a microfilm chip or photograph, matched to the embossed identification on the partially laminated card may be inserted and locked in place by a full lamination of the card.

Abstract: This invention is directed to film record cards and is more particularly directed to a film record card of the type wherein microfilm strips or the like are mounted in film pockets formed by two films overlying apertures of the film record card. These film strips are reproducible without being removed from the record card. At least part of one aperture is covered by a semi-opaque, ink-receptive coating serving as a reproducible index area.

Abstract: A film record card having an elongated, rectangular film pocket sized to receive a plurality of aligned microfilm strips is characterized by at least one discrete mass of non-setting adhesive attached to one or both of a pair of longitudinally extending sidewalls of the pocket and projecting inwardly of the pocket for grippingly engaging the film strips, thereby to retain the individual film strips in certain preselected positions within the pocket for enabling accurate automatic scanning of the film record card.

Abstract: The method or system of indexing cards for visual or machine filing and retrieval includes an index card having a plurality of notch areas located along at least a portion of the card edge with each of the notch areas being assigned at least two values and being adapted to receive a plurality of superimposable, separately identifiable notches to separately designate each notch area value.
