If you and others will identify the mystifiying phrases and provide
location, as you have done here, I will compare those phrases with the
original document in the National Library.
Did you receive the copied material from Wally as photocopies, or had he
already done an OCR scan?
Can you or anyone else tell me anything about technology (software) for
getting an OCR-type product from the electronic scan of a microfiche? I just
copied 70 pages of such last week, expecting (hoping at least) to get a txt
file that I could then edit quite conveniently. Instead, what I have is a
replica of the microfiches themselvs, which are hard to read. What kind of
software should I be looking for? The material I am trying to copy would be
of general interest here. It is hearings of the same Banking and Commerce
Cttee (well, a 1939 version of it), hearing statements from and
interrogating the Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Deputy Minister of
Finance on the occasion of the first annual report of the Bank since being
nationalized in 1938. The interrogators are mainly Social Credit members
plus the redoubtable Gerry McGeer of Lincoln Money Policy fame. The answers
extracted from the Governor (Graham Towers) sound very familiar in light of
what I have read in the past couple of days from "Warning Democracy" and
"Social Credit"
