This would be interesting to study further as an event, what is the context, who were the actors, what were their motivations.

<pre>The fixity of print</pre>

<pre>the New York Times Information Bank—another fascinating, short-lived experiment—tried the same kind of thing, but fiche retrieval proved so unreliable that eventually “a person wearing white gloves pulled fiche on demand” and positioned it in front of a video camera.</pre>
