Abstract
A photoplotter includes an image-projecting system movable with respect to a photosensitive material at relatively fast and efficient speeds and over relatively large areas. The photoplotter comprises a coherent fiber optic bundle for transmitting an image from the image-defining optics to the image-projecting system. The image can be moved over selective portions of the photosensitive material by moving the image-projecting system parallel to the material and rotated by rotating one end of the fiber optic bundle.
