Extract

In this complex world little can be done without records. Correspondence, memoranda, reports, surveys, inventories, plans, charts, blueprints, fiscal records, legal records, and hundreds of other varieties are all needed so that modern society can function with some degree of control. Business records are accumulating at a staggering rate; for example, one insurance company has acquired over 800,000 cubic feet in a period of about 70 years. The war period with its increased production and added personnel has, of course, accentuated the entire problem.
