Hall of Fame--Canzano - Riding Technology to the Cutting-edge

Not all technologies Acme took on were success stories. With its DC300 Hell scanner taking in about 14,000 jobs and obviously quite busy, Acme turned to a New York company that had installed servo motors on the scanner to set the color image on the machine. The user would put the image on the machine, off-line, and the image would appear on screen, where adjustments could be made, and it would output with a punch-card. Another operator would feed the punchcard into the scanner to produce twice as many scans. The unit cost $75,000.
