The pictures show views of this Old NCR Microform Smallest Bible in The World with Holder. The film and booklet are not dated but they are believed to be from the late 1960s. Some of the NCR story can be read in the pictures below. They had succeeded in putting all 1,245 pages (773,746 words) of the Old and New Testaments onto a 1-7/8'' x 1-7/8'' section of film that can be read with a 100x power microscope. The Photochromic Micro Image technique was a development from the research laboratories of the National Cash Register Company. This film comes inside its original booklet or folder. The booklet measures 2-1/2'' x 3-1/4''. The film appears to be in mint condition and the booklet has some light wear from handling as pictured. These NCR Microform Holy Bibles were sent to the moon:

''On February 5, 1971, the First Lunar Bible was carried to the surface of the moon on board the Apollo 14 lunar module Antares by Lunar Module Pilot Edgar D. Mitchell. While the event itself is fairly well-known, many details of the legend have remained relatively obscure. The Apostles of Apollo reveals the details behind the legend and the stories of astronauts, NASA employees, and others who tried, failed, and tried again the land the Bible on the moon.''

"The quest to land a Bible on the moon was born of the deaths of three Apollo 1 astronauts who died in a flash fire on the launch pad on January 27, 1967. One of these astronauts, Edward White II, had told a reporter before his death that he hoped one day to carry a Bible to the moon. From the ashes of Apollo 1 emerged a NASA information scientist and chaplain John Maxwell Stout with a vision for the Apollo Prayer League and a quest to land a Bible on the moon in the name of astronaut White and in memory of his own brother who was killed while attempting to prevent a burglary. Stout had planned to retire, but decided to stay on and see White's dream fulfilled."
