A size chart illustrating the ANSI sizes.
In 1995, the American National Standards Institute adopted ANSI/ASME Y14.
ANSI Lumens. A measurement of the overall brightness of a projector, the higher number of ANSI lumens means that if you're in a bright room, you'll still be able to see your image, and the colors in your flowers will stay saturated.
Fidelity 11x14 follows the ANSI standard.... (but does your F&S or Corona or whatever camera. expecially if it is really old??). Alan Brubaker (AWB enterprises) makes outstanding holders for 11x14 and up. I know you won't be disappointed.
Brightness is specified by an ANSI lumens rating, with higher numbers being brighter and better for photos. With lower ratings you may have to make the room darker or project the image from closer up so it's smaller.
This speed-rating system is adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and is used to establish the speed of aerial film.
Abbreviation for American Standards Association (Now ANSI). In photography, Used in conjunction with a number, e.g., ASA 400, refers to film or sensor "speed" or sensitivity to light.
The prevalent paper formats in Germany are defined by the DIN 476 (DIN is the German Insitute for Standardization, comparable to ANSI in the U.S.A, ISO internationally, etc.). The sequence A of sizes is based on the ratio (Square root of 2) : 1.

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an ANSI binary-coding scheme consisting of 128 seven-bit patterns for printable characters and control of equipment functions.
