Filmcard Industry Aims To Revolutionize Data Storage
Bennington's new Filmcard Corp led by Oliver Hoag launches in the former SimSon Industry building on BenMont Avenue with three full time staff, two desks, and a Rube Goldberg machine. It claims to produce 120000 data processing cards per hour, each carrying a microfilm frame. The concept traces to OSS needs in the 1940s via John Langan's aperture card system, developed to catalog and retrieve wartime imagery for Allied intelligence. See FILMCARD Page 2, Col. 4
