Subject: RE: Particle physicists rescue rare records
After I'd sent my last post, I downloaded the PDFs and settled down to read them. Will the LOC last long enought for them to scan much of it?! It takes me about five minutes to set up and digitally record one side of a 78, and from five minutes to an hour to cean it up to a reasonable standard (to my own satisfaction; and remember I'm a bit deaf!) and I thought that was a long time. We need someone with plenty of time & money to develop software that will "read" a conventional scan of the kind we can do at home. Any offers?

Thanks for the sterling work, Joe
