本文以美国斯科维尔制造公司的发展为例，介绍了世纪初美国现代企业纵向归档的发展。按时间顺序排列的外发信件和杂乱排列的信箱和装满来信的盒子无法处理世纪后期日益增加的信件数量。文件制作和复制方法的一系列变化导致了文件储存和获取方法的变化。新的纵向归档系统影响了外部通信的格式和内容，并鼓励了部门间和部门内通信的发展。这一时期通信结构的变化对随着办公室自动化的发展而正在进行的变化具有影响。
This article describes the development in early twentieth century American businesses of modern vertical filing, using the development in Scovill Man ufacturing Company as an example. The chronological press book of cop ies of outgoing correspondence and the haphazardly arranged pigeonholes and boxes full of incoming correspondence could not handle the increasing amount of correspondence late in the nineteenth century. A series of changes in methods of producing and reproducing documents led up to the change in methods of storing and gaining access to them. The new vertical filing system affected the format and content of external correspondence and encouraged the evolution of inter- and intradepartmental correspon dence. The changes in the communication structure in this period have im plications for changes now in progress as office automation advances.
