Il y a probablement des hommes, aussi; je m'en fiche pas mal.

Etched nickel fiche sheets, 2000 pages per square cm.

I've also conducted microfilm (and -fiche) searches, as well as cataloguing of same.

I could imagine a safe the size of a gun safe completely containing a nano-fiche machine and all of the information on Wikipedia today.

You can get a feel for it by searching for TVs on one of the European amazon sites and clicking on the product fiche link for each one.

I've been a bit curious about the state of microfiche readers in the recent past, and going much denser is going to require even more niche fiche reacher.

Cursive handwriting (combined with often poor microfilm or fiche photography) was an occupational hazard, he got fairly good at interpreting some documents but it might take him the better part of an afternoon to transcribe 4 or 5 pages of journal entries from some documents.

Speaking as a former Data General field engineer these old machines (DEC/DG, hell even old IBM mini's like the S/36) were a joy to work on; and you're right, with a copy of the right diagnostics, the relevant micro-fiche pages and a scope you could fix pretty much anything on-site if you had to.

In Europe they have to provide a "Product fiche" that lists a number of things including power draw, and an overall "grade".

I'm not confident in this, but: if microfilm/fiche is anything like ordinary film, it's somewhat annoying and costly to archive: the film itself physically degrades ("vinegar syndrome"[1]) and might be hazardous to store in bulk (depending on the age and type of film stock).
