It looks like you don't have many options here.  "Other Tools and
Equipment for Communication" within Category 6 seems to be the best you
can do.  That, at least, allows you to place it in the proper category
and classification.  It is a somewhat flexible system in that you can
add the terms you need for your own institution, although they would not
be added to the generalized system itself.  For further clarification,
you may want to contact a member of the Nomenclature Committee to see
how they feel about institutions adding terms as needed.  I don't think
they would object.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Nomenclature Rears its Pesky Head Again



Okay, folks, I need help again in naming an object. It's called a
Copy-Quick! - basically a small copy stand made specifically to allow
the user to duplicate Polaroid photographs by fastening the camera into
the stand, placing the existing photo into it, and shooting another
picture. So, it's not a camera, it's a copy stand, which doesn't exist
according to Nomenclature. What would y'all call it? Would you add copy
stand into Nomenclature?

Thanks, as always,

Anne
