Computer for designers
A remarkable new designing machine, developed by a British firm, makes it technically possible for a fabrics designer to see his pattern in material within two hours.
Reporting for 8.8. C. TV, Michael Wollard said that the designing machine, essentially a tool for professionals, consists of a computer and a special table. The computer is fed with all the basic information, including the range of colours to be used. The pat- # tern is then precisely aligned, for measurement purposes, on the special table, which has a “magic eye” to transfer the pattern into the computer.
