This rather massive, hand-printed Original Copy Manual, written by JVM, Preliminary Release #1, May 1, 1975, consists of three major sections: 1) A 176-page Glossary of Records, Terms, & Concepts, Procedures, Formats for OMR Processing of Paper Ballots, 2) A 36-page technical description of VOPAR (VOte PArity algoRithm), a paradigm for printing ballot-type ID's on both sides of each ballot such that the scanner could accurately read each ballot-type ID, even in the presence of voter scribbling and/or extraneous marks and smudges. The coding concept and implementation is explained in detail. 3) A 44-page section describing B-TOS, a scheme comprised of many separate modules, or elements of the software, when operating as an integrated whole, produces the many reports, records, summaries, logs, etc., required in the machine-processing of ballots. Descriptions of the major components follow in this section. The Ballot Processing System covered in this Introductory Guide, was successfully used in processing OMR paper ballots in Douglas County, NE, and several other jurisdictions, during the 1976 to 1978 (and beyond) time frame.
