"Computer-output microfilms"? Or is there a less clumsy expression? |
| | | computer output microfilms (COM) | Explanation:
yes, you're right! They are actually called like that and there is even an abbreviation...
6.3 Computer Output Microfilms (COM):
COM outputs a microphotography copy on microfilm or microfiche.
This expensive medium will probably be replaced by laser disks.
It seems the German expression was a translation of this in the first place!
