Virtual Tour of Southeast Library Bindery

 

Measurement Station
The items now go down the line to the measurement station.  A laser is used to take precise measurements of the volume's height, length and width.  This process is computer-automated and the information from the laser will be used later down the production line by the stamping department to determine what size the cover needs to be and to print the covers.
