| Keywords: indoor 330-PS-6193 (USN 709005): U.S. Navy High-Speed Facsimile Equipment Developed for Message Transmission. Seaman Geraldine D. Smith points out the Toner Adjustment dial on the Navy’s High-Speed Facsimile equipment, Model CXRG, which is a development model which may be used to transmit virtually any kind of document almost instantaneously over long distances. The basic system was conceived by engineers of the U.S. Navy’s Bureau of Ships. Development and construction was carried out under contract with the Radio Corporation of America and the Haloid Company. The Bureau of Ships found that equipment was needed which would accept copy without processing and would turn out finished copy without need of a “wet” developer or extensive processing. The Bureau also wanted a machine which would deliver copies that could be directly reproduced on standard office offset-type reproduction equipment. Previously developed equipment operating at the desired speed required the photographing of copy to be transmitted. It delivered copy on photographic film, requiring enlarging and printing before delivery to user. This necessitated expensive equipment, skilled personnel, darkroom facilities and adequate storage space and consumed valuable time, all of which the Navy should to avoid. It is feasible to install this equipment on larger naval vessels. The new development makes available a new source of high-speed, high-capacity and low cost service. Areas of application will not be restricted to the military. Commercial potential need for such a facility is expected in time to surpass that of the military. Photograph released September 29, 1953.
