Somewhat OT, I'm old enough to remember using a high-speed Kodak electrophotographic copier with a fancy finishing unit attached. The whole thing was about 20 feet long, and, like all electrophotographic copiers, it had to capture the image of the original for every copy made, so it had a mechanism that ran the original over and over the platen - it worked so fast that the flash lamp seemed almost like a strobe light.Ok, do I really have to mention ditto machines? 😀 Youngsters...
Well, I'm old enough to have seen and extensively used copies made on mimeograph and ditto machines, but never really used the machines themselves. I remember how it could be so much harder to read the last copy to come off the ditto machine than the first due to the depletion of ink supply on the "ditto master". And who can forget that ditto machine smell?
