Scope and Contents

This 2-page document illustrates an early effort to provide the user with an OCR type of data entry on a standard MRC/WLC OMR Form. Digitek, an MRC hardware competitor of the day, offered a less friendly system for their sheet formats (MRC opinion!), and this was a conceptual approach to offer a competitive approach. The idea was not taken to the marketplace, however, as it was later determined that the marking requirements for users were not "user friendly".
