Book Cradle BookTEK® 5 V3/V2
The BookTEK 5 V3/V2 Archive is equipped with a book cradle. The book
cradle can be used in two modes, in flat position (180 degrees) or in V-
position (120 degrees).
The V position (1) is recommended for very delicate, old books and
documents. The opening angle between the book cradle plates is 140
degrees. When the book rockers are lifted into the "V" position, they are
held by a support leg on each side. In the "V" position, the plates can also
be pushed apart horizontally. The small opening angle puts only minimal
strain on the book binding.
The book cradle plates can be pushed apart horizontally (2). The maximum
possible distance between the plates is 100 mm (4 inch). This position is
particularly suitable for scanning bound originals.
