See full text

Apparatus for examining documents moved along a path between a light source normally energized at a first level and a photodetector, in which a first potential proportional to the long term average value of the photodetector output with no document between the light source and the photodetector and a second potential proportional to the instantaneous value of the photodetector output are compared to energize the light source at a higher level by shorting part of the resistance in the normal energizing circuit when the second potential falls below a predetermined percentage of the first potential.
