Item description from seller

**Rare work** William W. Hill and Alfred Coe. **NO COPIES found in WorldCat** "Finger Print Classification. International Laboratories of Forensic Research ("Budd Lake, NJ, PO Box 302"). 1937. 11x8.5", (i), 32pp, 9 plates (of close-up fingerprint drawings). Mimeographed wirk bound in a three-ring binder. The binder is in FAIR condition (3/10), with the spine backstrip lacking and both boards detached. The text is dusted but crisp. Text is in GOOD condition (5-6/10), though probably a little better. __+__ This work states that it is based upon the Henry System (1) of fingerprint classification, which buy this point had been around for more than 50 years. It seems that the addition to the field that this work attempts to make is reordering the way in which fingerprint data is stored. The Henry System evidently used a cabinet drawer divided into 32x32 sections--here the sections are 12x12, though there are subdivisions of type patterns that seem to make the organization more extensive along with an additional numerical system (with arithmetical rules and functions) that I haven't devoted any time to understanding. __+__ This work is unknown to WorldCat/OCLC, and is not findable via standard means online. For one reason or another, this work received little or no circulation. __+__ NOTES: (1.) The Henry Classification System is a long-standing method (begun ca. 1877) by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one-to-many searching. Developed by Hem Chandra Bose, Azizul Haque and Sir Edward Henry in the late 19th century for criminal investigations in British India, it was the basis of modern-day AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) classification methods up until the 1990s.
