There is an older man who my boss knows that stops by the shop to make copies of phtos and old documents once in a while. he loves history and had a large collection of local related stuff about our city and the state. At the end of the day my boss ask me to go into the conference room and start the old Lanier 310 and make 10 copies of the 2 documents on the table. He stressed that I be careful and DO NOT DAMAGE THEM. Mr. Grahm had found them folded up in the pages of an old book that was being disgarded. Needless to say I was very curious. When I walked into the room, there were two maps, 2feet by 3 feet, both of my state, North Carolina. They apeared to be from early to mid 1700's. There are few towns shown inland, many more on the coast than exist now and the Atlantic is referred to as "The Great Western Ocean" on one of them. South Carolina is shown with more land and there is no western boundry, which would be Tennessee today.
As I was running the older one through the document feeder for the second time, trying to get a nice copy, I turned around to pick something up and hear the sound of crinkling paper. I jumped to the machine lifting the adf lid to stop. I got lucky. No damage.
Just thought I would share. Not often you come in contact with cool stuff fixing copiers.
