[Fingerprint minutiae] data gathered by all five AFRSs [Automatic Fingerprint Reader System] for the file conversion effort... i. e., reading all fingerprint cards on file with subject date of birth 1929 and later, and storing the minutiae data [was completed. ] Many of the cards processed were dog-eared, frayed and required mending to process them through the AFRSs. [For] a modest additional investment, the minutiae detection processor can be included in the hardware, increasing the throughput by 50%. 1, record 1, English, - minutiae%20detection%20processor
