The recent completion of a company-wide PC network system, supported by network servers intended to rapidly handle large data files from CAD systems, made implementation of digital imaging in the Corporate Materials Engineering laboratory of Case Corporation a wise investment. Laboratory reports in Microsoft Word with linked image files can be rapidly received through any of the networked PC's and are archived in the server system. The changeover from film imaging to digital imaging was very sudden. This change was accelerated by satisfied users, whose work was made easier and more productive, and satisfied customers within Case Corporation.
