If any business, institution, member of a profession or calling, or any department

or agency of government, in the regular course of business or activity has kept or

recorded any memorandum, writing, entry, print, representation or combination thereof,

of any act, transaction, occurrence or event, and in the regular course of business

has caused any or all of the same to be recorded, copied or reproduced by any photographic,

photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic, or other process which

accurately reproduces or forms a durable medium for so reproducing the original, the

original may be destroyed in the regular course of business unless its preservation

is required by law. Such reproduction, when satisfactorily identified, is as admissible in evidence

for inspection under direction of court. The introduction of a reproduced record, enlargement or facsimile, does not preclude
