RE: [PIUG List] English Abstract for JP54-173754

Mary,
 
You'll have to try it in Derwent, or Innovation, and/or STN. Maybe MicroPat=
 has it. Good luck!

Susan Taylor, the Customer Service Specialist at Wolters Kluwer IFI, sugges=
ted that I contact the Patent Information Users Group.


  


I am searching for an English abstract for a patent utility model, JP54-173=
754, dated December 7, 1979. The subject matter is a "display device or ap=
paratus for a vehicle." I have searched the following databases and enlist=
ed the help of researchers at Dialog, Questel.Orbit, IFI, and MicroPatent.=
 


  


JPO (E). I downloaded and printed the full-text Japanese document.


  


Patent Abstracts of Japan. They began providing English abstracts in 1992 =
or 1993. My document goes back to 1979.

How may I find out if an English abstract even exists? Have I overlooked a=
ny databases?

e translation.


  


Thank you for your help in this matter.
