Foreword (This foreword is not a part of the American National Standard for Infonnation and Image Management - Dimensions of Unitized Microfilm Carriers and Apertures (Aperture, Cunera, Copy, .. md Image Cards), ANSI!AIIM MS41-1996.)

ANSI/AIIM MS41-1996 is a replacement for ANSIIAIIM MS41-1988.

MS41 is olle in a group of industry. international, federal govemment, and military publications associated witll microftlm carriers, tahulating canis, and non-tanulating canis (military & commercial). It is not the intent of MS41 to promote any card medium or carrier construction method.

Metric dimensions used in MS41 are mathematical conver"ions of the actual inch-pound unit (requirement). The inch-pound requirement is shown in parcntilesis. Some of the metric dimensions may not be identical in ISO standards where the metric dimension is rounded off to the nearest whole numher.

The aperture location and tile buildup location illustrated in the figures are representative, that is, not drawn to scale.

Suggestions for changes or improvements to tIlis standard are welcome and should be sent to Chair, AIIM Standards Board, A"sociation for Information and Image Management Intemational, 1100 Wayne Avenue, Suite 1100, Silver Spring. Maryland 20910-5603.

4 Requirements

4.1 Materials

4.1.1 Card stock

Paper requirements for the 80-column tabulating card are specified in ANSI X3.11. The card's top and bottom horizontal edges may also be coated with a mixture of 25 percent vinyl acetate and 75 percent toluol or an equivalent substance.

NOTE: Additional infonnation on paper stock can be found in federal Specification. G-C-116F(1) and additional infonnation on coating characteristics can be found in Milil'lry Specification, MIL-M-3R76IA.

. '

4.1.2 Microfilm carrier

Material used to hold microfilm in the aperture of either an 80-column tabulating c,ud (aperture, camera. copy. and image), or a non-tabulating card (A6 apcrture card). When the material is honding tape. the adhesion ch,uacleristics of ANSI! AIIM MS 10 apply.

4.1.3 Protection sheet

A removable piece of glassine or equivalent mat.erial is used as a protective sheet. For an unprocessed RO-co\umn aperture card. the glassine protl.:cts the exposed adhesive of the bonding lape (Type I carrier) until a developed frame of silver microfilm is mounted in the aperture.

4.1.4 Protective pocket

A pocket created hy a suspension-type microfilm holder (Type II cmrier). When a developed frame of silver microfilm is inserted. the carrier material protects the microfilm .

Annex A Recommendations

([nformative)

(This annex is not a part of American National Standard for lnfonnation and Image Management - Dimensions of Unitized Microfilm Carriers and Apertures (Aperture, Camera, Copy. and Image Cards), ANSIIAlIM MS41-1996.

(The fullo-wing precaUTionary meaSllres, cfar~fica/iOl1s, alld illllSTraTio/ls are provided To help a IIser.)

1. A card and its microfilm are subject to we,u', abrasion. and damage. For exmnple. to avoid microfilm (.hunage when keypunching an SO-column tabulating card. the keypunch device must be modified so no brushes or rollers come in contact with the microfilm (columns 53 through 76).

2. When mounting a fnune of silver roll microfilm (particularly when the image size is equal to the maximum aperture sil(~), pay close attention to the dimensions specified in Figure 2 to preclude encroachment on the bonding tape. Fnune size dimensions are specified in ANSIIAIIM MS32 and MIL-M-9868E.

3. To avoid confusion. do not misinterpret or intermix the card classifications specified in 4.2.1. 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 with microfilm classifications. Microfilm classifications are specified in Military Specification. MIL-M-9868E.

4. To avoid confusion. it must be understood that the chemical and physicaJ requirements of ANSI X3.1l and Federal Specification, G-C-116r:(2) are identical. except f()f weight. size ~U\d sample quantity .

.s. To avoid confusion when referring to an 80-column wbulating cmd (aperture. camera. copy. and image), tile following clarifications are provided:

Aperture card - An unprocessed tabulating card whose aperture (rectangular hole) is designed for the suhsequent mounting of a developed frame of Type I silver (camera or non camera) microfilm. (Fllrthermore. the e).pressioll "aperTure card" is cOlllllwnly /lsed wIlen referring to any tablllaTing or non-tabulating card (1I7ilitarr or coll1mercial!. wl/effier processed or unprocessed. 1hal has an apel1l1re. Do 110t cOl~f/lse the popularity of the generic "aperTure card" e.\pressiol1 wilh The slJec~fic functional charaCTeristics of an individual aperture card. camera card. COPy card. and image card.)

Camera card - An unprocessed tabulating card whose aperture contains undeveloped Type I silver cmnera microfilm. A camera card is designed for its film to be exposed and processed while in the aperture. Thus, camera cards can only be used with cameras capahle of this process.

Copy card - An unprocessed tabulating card whose aperture usually contains undeveloped Type II diazo noncmnew microtilm. A copy cU'd's undeveloped diazo film is designed to be exposed and processed by contact printing ill a cm'd-to­card duplicating device (i.e .. tile emulsion layer of the undeveloped diazo film must be in direct contact with the emulsion layer of tile developed film in the image card being copied).

Image card - A processed aperture card. cmnera card. or copy card. A processed card is keypunched (I Iolleritll infonnalion). has eye-readable (unaided) header infonnation, and its aperture (rectangular hole) contains developed (imaged) microfilm (silver, diazo, or vesicular).

6. Because cm'd\~ Witil a Tab C. Tab E. or Tab F size aperture arc not commonly used, only the buildup local ion and dimensions of Tab D are illustrated in Figures A1. A2. and A~.

The Tah (', Tah E. and Tab F buildup locations are illustrated in Figures A 1. A2. and A3.
