And ConneXions (1987–1996), which arrived as 3,573 page scans with no text layer at all. Whole-page transcription scrambles a 1990s desktop-publishing layout, so we infer the page's rectangles first and transcribe each region separately. W…
Same problem, another angle: operators have been putting fiber route maps on conference slides for thirty years. From 1.2 million archived pages we found 1,708 route maps, screened 54 as georeferencable, and have nine aligned to draft KML.…
