Microfiche, yes, a roll of film passed through a glass rectangle is projected onto a screen in a fixed box like an old fashioned computer terminal.

ahh yes, I'd know that as a "microfilm', they are kept in small boxes in the filing cabinets in the search room to be used on the dedicated film readers.
I think the term 'microfiche' confused RTL too as they are small individual sheets rather than a reel.

Sorry to be pernicketty, but I think both RTL and I were wondering if TWAS had an additional resource we were not aware of.

Boo

I see. I havent used these devices much and I was not aware of the different meanings to these 2 terms.  Thank you for clarifying.

Just to say you were exactly right Boo, I did think Our Ancestors had found an additional resource I had not heard of.
I do of course know of the microfilms at the archives but much prefer microfilms to microfiche anyway.
I daresay it will be easy to get the two confused if not familiar with the terms.  I didn't know either when first got into this hobby.
