eg: 914, copyflo 11, copyflo 24,
and the flat plate ?number 4? camera and developer
system. The operator of the number 4 system was
able to make copies on paper, and coated paper
masters for offset printing presses.[/QUOTE]
I forgot to brag that I serviced the number 4
xerographic system, and the Copyflo 11
Now guess my age!!

In 1960 I met the local Xerox tech, who
suggested that I fill out a job application
form, because they were putting in many machines (914).
He told me about the benefits one would have
as a Xerox tech.
Sadly I did not apply for a job there, and justified
that decision by sayng "Who needs copies?"
Kicked myself many times for not applying
I don't know if there was a Xerox "branch"
in Winnipeg at that time, because the tech
and the salesman were brothers.
I did not keep track of their lives
and I lost! Boo! Hoo! on me.
I can't throw a guess, but I suppose you've met Napoleon himself?Originally Posted by Robert Sveinson

I'm just an ex-tech lurking around and spreading disinformation!
Wow, that is cool!
Tell us....... what was it like seeing the comet that killed the dinosaurs?

Napoleon the third!
Not the one who thought he could beat
the Russians!
Just like my not believing that "copies" would be a big businessWow, that is cool!
Tell us....... what was it like seeing the comet that killed the dinosaurs?
and that Xerox would lead the way...........
I didn't believe that the comet would hit us.
What was the name of the documentary ?
I recorded this on a VHS. I think it was done in the 80's. When I find the doc, I will post back what details I can find about it. Good thing I didn't record it on a bata mch
Yes, I am here to fix your machine. No, your machine went out of warranty 18 years ago.
Then this should make you LOL............I quit a job right after I unloaded 60,000 sheets of Southworth Eagle Brand Carbon Paper, packed in boxes of 10 sheets each. I went up stairs to the boss and I said what are you crazy, copiers are the way to go today and he responded , quite calmly " I've seen machines come and go and who's to say the copier is going to stick around" literally, thats what he said. They lasted about another 5 years in business. Too bad to, they started in 1919 and were one of the very first Canon dealers in the US.
