Master drawings and method of making transparencies from same

Claim 1

A MASTER DRAWING TO BE USED FOR OPTICALLY PREPARING TRANSPARENCIES COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION: (A) A TRANSPARENT BASE MATERIAL; AND (B) A PLURALITY OF TAPES DISPOSED ON SAID BASE MATERIAL SO AS TO REPRESENT A DESIRED CONFIGURATION, WITH EACH TAPE HAVING GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR FORMED THEREON; (C) SAID GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR ON AT LEAST TWO OF SAID TAPES HAVING OPTICALLY DISTINGUISHABLE CHARACTERISTICS, WITH EACH OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS DELINEATING AT LEAST ONE SEPARATELY USEABLE ASPECT OF SAID CONFIGURATON; AND (D) SAID TWO TAPE BEING DISPOSED ON SAID BASE MATERIAL IN AT LEAST PARTIALLY OVERLAPPING RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OTHER, WITH SAID GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR OF SAID TAPES BEING RELATIVELY POSITIONED AT SAID AREAS OF OVERLAP SO AS TO ENABLE SAID OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH OF SAID ASPECTS OF SAID CONFIGURATION TO BE PHOTOGRAPHICALLY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM EACH OTHER

Claim 3

A METHOD OF OPTICALLY PREPARING A PLURALITY OF TRANSPARENCIES EACH OF WHICH DELINEATES DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF A DESIRED CIRCUIT FOR SUBSEQUENT USE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STENCILS FOR THE FABRICATION OF THIN FLIM SUBSTRATES, SAID METHOD COMPRISING THE FOLLOWING STEPS: (A) ATTACHING AT LEAST TWO CONFIGURATIONS OF GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR UPON A TRANSPARENT BASE MATERIAL IN AT LEAST PARTIALLY OVERLAPPING LAYERS, WITH ANY ONE CONFIGURATION HAVING PATTERNS OF ONE COLOR AND THE REMAINING CONFIGURATIONS RESPECTIVELY HAVING PATTERNS OF OTHER COLORS; (B) RELATIVELY POSITIONING SAID CONFIGURATIONS OF GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER SO THAT ANY ONE PATTERN OF COLOR IS PHOTOGRAPHICALLY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM ANY OTHER PATTERN OF COLOR OF ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION AT AREAS IN WHICH ANY ONE OF SAID CONFIGURATIONS OVERLAP ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION; (C) PHOTOGRAPHICALLY EXPOSING SAID MASTER DRAWING THROUGH SUCCESSIVE COLOR FILTERS WHEREUPON FIRST SAID ONE CONFIGURATION OF SAID ONE COLOR IS OBTAINED, AND SUCCESSIVELY EXPOSING SAID OTHER CONFIGURATIONS OF SAID OTHER COLORS CAN BE OPTICALLY PROCESSED.

Claim 4

A METHOD OF OPTICALLY PREPARING A PLURALITY OF TRANSPARENCIES EACH OF WHICH DELINEATES DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF A DESIRED CIRCUIT FOR SUBSEQUENT USE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF STENCILS FOR THE FABRICATION OF THIN FLIM SUBSTRATES, SAID METHOD COMPRISING THE FOLLOWING STEPS: (A) ATTACHING AT LEAST TWO CONFIGURATIONS OF GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR UPON A TRANSPARENT BASE MATERIAL IN AT LEAST PARTIALLY OVERLAPPING LAYERS, WITH ANY ONE CONFIGURATION HAVING PATTERNS OF ONE COLOR AND THE REMAINING CONFIGURATIONS RESPECTIVELY HAVING PATTERNS OF OTHER COLORS; (B) RELATIVELY POSITIONING SAID CONFIGURATIONS OF GEOMETRIC PATTERNS OF COLOR WITH RESPECT TO EACH OTHER SO THAT ANY ONE PATTERN OF COLOR IS PHOTOGRAPHICALLY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM ANY OTHER PATTERN OF COLOR OF ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION AT AREAS IN WHICH ANY ONE OF SAID CONFIGURATIONS OVERLAP ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION; (C) PHOTOGRAPHICALLY EXPOSING SAID MASTER DRAWING THROUGH SUCCESSIVE COLOR FILTERS WHEREUPON FIRST SAID ONE CONFIGURATION OF SAID ONE COLOR IS OBTAINED, AND SUCCESSIVELY EXPOSING SAID OTHER CONFIGURATIONS OF SAID OTHER COLORS CAN BE OPTICALLY PROCESSED.
