As the versatility of WLC/MRC OMR document processing systems (hardware and software) continued to progress, the company was always 'on the lookout' for new applications. One such idea was to be able to process paper-based OMR tests for the very lowest grade levels, e.g., the Metropolitan Readiness Test. The concept was to show the students a set of 3 or 4 pictures on the test sheet, with the instructions to draw a circle around the correct answer-picture, or alternatively, to mark an 'X' through the correct-answer. JVM was assigned the task of investigating the feasibility of processing these new types of OMR tests on MRC scanning hardware, and his 7-page 11/15/1972 MEMO (plus Appendices and Attachments) to Burdette Hansen, MRC General Manager, summarizes the results, conclusions, and recommendations. The spiral-bound 11/16/72 Original Copy of this complete publication (including the 11/15/72 MEMO) illustrates numerous examples of the OMR sheet designs tested, and the statistical results. The Report contains an attached Technical Article entitled, "Interactive image processor speeds pattern recognition by computer", published in the magazine, ELECTRONICS, October 23, 1972, Page 89 to 98. The Archival DVD Folder: 1972_11_16_MACHINE SCORABLE DOCS contains the JPEG-image scans of the 7-Page JVM Memo, and a couple of examples of the MRT Sheet format layouts
