O.C.R.benefits and pitfalls
Eastern Electricity, Russell Road, Ipswich, UK
This paper follows up an earlier paper, which was concerned with the preparations required for O.C.R., by discussing the problems of the actual installation of O.C.R. and the results achieved in production. Certain of the pre-installation plans had to be changed to achieve good throughput and accuracy. Various pointers are given to the desirable features of any O.C.R. equipment. It is emphasised that a working system is far more than the electronics to read characters and marks.
