2.1.19 Mark Sense Reader (MSR) 

This device also known as optical mark reader (OMR) can recognise marks made by a pencil or pen on a specially designed card or form. These cards and forms are pre-printed for special purposes so that a mark in a particular position may represent certain meaning. Such forms are used in processing selection tes ts, survey questionnaires, and the like, where answers are recorded as dark pencil marks in certain boxes.
