The walnut system: A large capacity document storage and retrieval system

P. D. Bradshaw

American Documentation, 1962, vol. 13, issue 3, 270-275

Abstract: This report describes a prototype information system being developed by the IBM Advanced Systems Development Division for the Central Intelligence Agency. Using conventional 35‐millimeter film and IBM Descriptor Cards or Paper Tape as input, the system houses both the index and abstracts of documents as well as microimages of the documents themselves. There are no plans to market this particular system commercially. Out of this effort, however, technology will emerge that will no doubt influence the design and fabrication of future 1/R Systems.
