IBM Copier Scanning System

by D. A. Beaty, T. A. Hoskins, T. H. Richards, H. W. Simpson
The quality of the copy to be produced by the IBM Copier was of utmost importance in the machine development. This dictated that the amplitude of the vibrations of the document scanning system during scan be limited to a very low level. The design considerations, analysis, simulation, and instrumentation used to assure adequate performance of the system are described.
