INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: SERIES ONE: Boulton and Watt: Parts 9 and 10

Technical Note - Part 10

Our microfilm publications have been prepared and produced in accordance with recommended and established guide-lines for the production of microform of superior quality. These conform to the recommendations of the standard guides to good microforming and micropublishing practice.

Attention should be drawn to the nature of the original material. The material consists of folders of original correspondence spanning the period c1750-1809. Most of the material is in very good condition. A few manuscript items contain some faintly legible text written with a variety of inks, pens or pencils. A few items are stained or discoloured at the edges, or comprise material on very thin paper, which is so thin that there is show through that renders the original document difficult to read. Where possible typescript transcripts have been provided.

These original characteristics present difficulties of image and contrast which stringent tests and camera alterations cannot entirely overcome. Every effort has been made to minimise these difficulties. An A4 identification target is filmed at the front of every new item.

The staff of Bell & Howell Ltd, Micromedia Division have exercised the most responsible care in the filming of this unique collection at the Central Library in Birmingham and this microfilm publication meets the standards established by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
