What is Rolodex ™?
and Rolodex ™ is an organizational device used to store contact information. It is a rotating cylinder designed with a central rod that holds removable cards. The product name is a combination of "Rolling" and "Index" and is primarily designed to allow its complete circular rotation to access faster access to names, address and phone number.
Customized cards come up with equipment, along with alphabetical cards for organization. The cards have slots on tops to fit safely into the inner bars. The person can attach business cards to the slotted cards or write the contact information directly to them. The cards are stored by fixing the slots on the center bars behind the right divider.
The organizer base was designed to work similarly to mining. It is made of robust steel to make it more suitable for comfortable sitting on the office tables. There are two basic types of Rolodex ™: uncovered and covered. The uncovered version has Arara made of two steel legs and allows you toLY cards completely visible, while the covered type has a flat base and a retractable hood to cover the cards when they are not used.
The first Rolodex ™ was invented in 1954 by engineer Hildaur L. Neilsen. While working at Office Supply Manufacturing Company Zephyr American Corporation, Neilsen has expanded to Wheeldex ™, the existing organizer of the circular office sold by the competing Scholfield Services in the 1940s. Neilson added three main changes: plastic side buttons that facilitate rotation, two circular inner rails to secure cards and friction clutch to ensure that rotation is smooth and unlikely. Rolodex ™ has been on the market by Zephyr American Corporation Arnold Neustadter at the end of the 50th year and its success exceeded The Wheeldex ™
As the organizer became more popular, also for some entrepreneurs inyvinul into the type of symbol. The larger and more he filled the person Rolodex ™, the more successful he was considered. As the electronic organizers began more extensive since the 80s of the 20th century, the use of traditional Rolodex ™ has dropped slightly, but was not outdated.
When office computers have become more common since the age of 90, the sale of Rolodex ™ has remained stable and the product began to combine with technology, rather than completely replaced. There are computer software programs that create templates that can be printed on cards for those who do not want to manually write slot cards. The device is often used as a backup if computer systems collapse and loses electronically stored information; However, there is also an electronic pocket version of Rolodex ™ and computer database software.
