As covered in my other U of I Accession Documents, prior to the acquisition of MRC by Westinghouse Learning Corporation (WLC) in June 1968, we had already developed a novel approach to scanning OMR documents at high-speed with a "turn around" mechanism in the feeding path that permitted each side of an answer/test-sheet to be scanned independently by reflected light, yet requiring only a single sensing head. We temporarily dubbed this new product RASCOL: Reverse Action Scanner On Line: Given the relative cost savings of incorporating only a single sensing head, rather than two normally required for dual-side independent reflective scanning of OMR sheets, WLC Management felt that we had a very competitive product for the so-called 'OMR Marketplace', which in hindsight, was far more limited than the senior WLC management appreciated! Regardless, there was a major emphasis by WLC to tap the appropriate WEC Corporate resources to assist the small MRC Engineering Staff to quickly bring the RASCL prototype to full-scale production. Accordingly, we were 'barraged' with visits by various WEC-Pittsburgh, PA Facility engineers, and the WEC Geo-Research Laboratory in Boulder, CO even got into the act to 'help' us. I, in turn, made a number of reciprocal visits to the various facilities in the WEC Pittsburgh area, such as the Churchill WEC Research & Development Center, Manufacturing Headquarters Engineering, Pittsburgh Allegany Tower, and the PTL (Product Transition Laboratory). And, as covered elsewhere in this Accession Set, I also made a trip in February 1977 to a WEC off-shore manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico to investigate the feasibility of having WEC manufacture the printed-circuit cards for RASCOL at this site. In other words, this effort to 'tap into' the vast resources of WEC did not die a quick and painless death. A lot of 'huff and puff' to be sure, but in the final analysis, we continued to build the several dozen RASCOLs eventually sold in this country and abroad in our own little shop at MRC Iowa City, IA. For a reference to the Puerto Rico Trip Report, see: 1977_02_01_Puerto Rico Trip Report, by John V. McMillin, shown later in this Set. The Media Disc Folder with the above name 1968_10_31 to 1970_01_08_WEC-RASCOL covers the WEC-MRC trip reports and related documents during the dates shown in the title - in the form of JPEG-image files - with a separate sub-folder for each correspondent. The complete set of hard copies is also provided in this JVM Accession Set in a bound folder
