Description:"The formation of the Graphic Arts Research Foundation, Inc. on July 14, 1949 marked the beginning of a new era in graphic arts research and a departure by many progressive publishers and printers from traditional reliance upon printing equipment manufacturers for improved means of production...Each of you were asked to support this unique research undertaking in the conviction that the proper application of scientific research could produce fundamentally new printing processes and equipment -- methods that would be better, more versatile and far less costly. As the Foundation nears the completion of its third year, let us examine its achievements and its operations to appraise whether it has proven effective." - front matter Contents: To the Subscribers -- Establishment of Program -- Commencement of Research -- What to Develop? -- Technical Advisory Board -- Data and Training for Manufacture -- Photographic Type Composition Improvements -- Automatic Page Make-Up Machine -- Patents -- Financial Support -- Budget -- Conclusion
