We had a nice visit at the USDA. It was cool to see the vault room, and some of the scanners and equipment that a federal budget can buy. They have 2 of the scanners we lust after. It is a scanner by Leica. A nice round 150 grand will get us one. It can produce a 1 GB scan from a 9x9 aerial negative in 2.5 minutes. Our 10 year old scanner takes 40 minutes. Now scan 5,000 negatives and how much time can you save on a scan job? On big jobs we just hire out the scans
to be done. It would take us a month to scan a job they can do overnight.
The vault room had huge racks of cans of negatives in a temp controlled vault. Mega millions of dollars. It was fun to put a face to a voice on the phone.
