Microfilm Equipment

Microfilm dates back to 1839, but in 1925 a New York City banker, George McCarthy was granted a patent for his 'Checkograph Machine' (above left).
This was designed to make permanent film copies of bank records, and was really the first viable commercial use of microfilm. In 1928 Kodak bought this invention and began to market it under Kodak's Recordak Division. There have been many manufacturers of microfilm equipment since 1928, but sadly many of them are no longer making or supporting microfilm equipment, as it has limited use or attraction in today's digital world.

There are still some applications suited to microfilm, and if yours is one of them, B A Micrographics can supply new or used microfilm equipment.
