Abstract
THE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF CRIME HAS STIMULATED THE IDENTIFICATION AND INVESTIGATION APPARATUS OF THE POLICE TO REPLACE THE VERY DEFECTIVE CARD SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE VERY TIME-CONSUMING AND AN EVERY-MAN-FOR-HIMSELF PROPOSITION, BY A COMPLETELY INTEGRATED UNIT THAT CAN REPRODUCE ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY AND QUICKLY, WITH ALL THE INFORMATION BROUGHT TOGETHER IN A FORM THAT MAKES IT EASY TO USE. A DETAILED DESCRIPTION, ILLUSTRATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND DRAWINGS, IS GIVEN OF HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. --IN DUTCH
