  • Rabinow Engineering "CONVERTING ADDRESSOGRAPH PLATES TO COMPUTER LANGUAGE" view details Abstract: This company has established a Service Department to handle conversion of Addresso-graph plate impressions to electronic data processing language. A Rabinow Universal Reader for automatically reading Addresso-graph plate impressions and simultaneously converting them to EDP language is now being assembled.
    The machine is capable of handling all existing metal address plate fonts. It will read them electronically at a rate of six or more lines of print per second and then accurately code this information on any of the conventional EDP inputs such as punched paper tape, magnetic tape or punched cards. The speed capabilities of the RUB are such that a one-million name and address list can be converted in less than 150 machine hours, as compared to several months using other means of conversion. In addition, one time conversion costs will be reduced considerably through making use of time on the RUH at the Rabinow Service Department.
