Help. Can't think of the machine in the library...

that you view old newspapers/documents through. Kind of like a projector. It magnifies the image so it is easier to see. I'm trying to do a search on them, but I have no idea what it's called. Usually I'm good with Google, but this > me.

Reason I ask is because to view old documents/drawings here at work you would need one of those. I'm writing a short tutorial on document retrieval and need the name of that thing. Can't really write "you have to use the maginifeir-blower-up thing". Thanks if you can help.

Actually microfiche "assuming" you'll be using flat media and not reels.

Interesting. You're actually correct then. Not sure if I'll stick with that term though, since most people won't know what it is either and it'll only cause more confusion. Maybe parenthesis are called for? .... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif
