Call from Claude, mainly on his searching for patents. The abstracts are now listed by categories. For the last few years the N.Y. Public Library has been putting the patents themselves on micro film. As they are being viewed a copy can be made for 25¢ of the sheet on view can be obtain by dropping 25¢ and pushing a button. There is only one machine, but Claude only had to wait a few minute once.
