XEROX ENGINEERING
PRINTING SYSTEM

Xerox Corporation has introduced a
new automatic engineering printing
system. The Xerox 7085 Engineering
Printing System can produce Athrough C-size prints, from originals
sized A through E, at rates up to 58 per
minute.
Print quality is monitored continuously by a closed-loop electrometer
control system. The system makes
any needed process adjustments automatically to maintain print quality at
the highest possible level.
Prints in A, B, or C sizes are produced by using one of three reproduction ratios-original size or either
65 percent or 50 percent of original
size. During the scanning process,
each original's size is sensed, and the
proper reproduction ratio and the correct print size are set automatically.
The operator may also manually select one of the three reproduction
ratios.
Originals of varying sizes up to D
can be intermixed and stream-fed into
the main document handler. A separate large-document handler accepts
E-size originals to produce single
C-size prints. These are then fed into
the main document handler for further reduction, if needed, and reproduction in quantity.
The 7085 has 15 sorter bins, each of
which holds up to 20 C-size prints. Band C-size prints are folded automatically as they are sorted. Prints measuring 11 x 17 inches can also be
sorted without folding. Separate paper
trays accept 1000 sheets each of A, B,
and C-size stock. Because cut-sheet
stock is used, it is easy to load colored
paper, vellum, or other specialty
stock.

CAPRI LIGHTING TEMPLATE

A design template for lighting layouts
has been developed by Capri Lighting.
Created by Capri for use by archi tects,
lighting designers, and interior design
professionals, it assists specifiers in
completing lighting application estimates more accurately and in less
time. The template permits location
of track and recessed lighting layouts
in quarter-inch scale.
One section of the template contains circles that represent 4", 6", 8",
10", and 12" nominal ceiling apertures
for recessed fixtures. The template
also has a set of beam spread guides
showing the beam angles [from sixdegree to 42-degree] utilized by most

line-voltage and low-voltage lamps. A
protractor is also included so that aiming angles for directional lighting light
patterns will fall on vertical surfaces
and at the same time indicating how
large an area will be illuminated by a
specific lamp. The template also
shows common symbols for switches
and electrical outlets.
The template is available from Capri sales representatives and factory
sales personnel or by writing: Capri
Lighting, 6430 E. Slauson Avenue, Los
Angeles, CA 90040; or Hope Bryson,
Selrnore, 1017 N. La Cienega Blvd.,

DOLBY MODEL 363 UNIT

Dolby Laboratories introduced its
Model 363 two-channel switchable
unit for use in audio facilities. It offers
two channels of switchable Dolby
Spectral Recording and A-type noise
reduction in one unit. Both cha=els
are equipped with built-in record/
playback changeover capability allowing a single Model 363 chassis to serve

for stereo recording applications. It is
normally supplied with two catalog
No. 300 modules, which contain
both Dolby SR and Dolby A-type
processing.
