    Kardex fun fact

    I did not know that Kardex was originally an American invention, dating to the Rand Ledger in 1898, that Kardex as a company name was started in 1915. It's now used by Kardex Group, a Swiss Company, but during the period it's relevant to us the business was owned by Sperry Rand.

    Dave,
    Do you know who has the actual Kardex files? I would love to find out who has the paper/cardboard copy!

    The factory archive has them securely locked away. All we have access to are the scanned images.
