Hi there!
Search on "youtube" for the doku "The secret Life of Photocopiers", there´s a lot of info & incredible machines to see. Enjoy it!! Nice weekend.

This is correct, Chester Carlson filed his first patent in 1937, in 1938 the worlds first copy made using the xerographic process was made

Google is your friend

Although, having been a Xeroid for so many years, I knew Chester Carlson, but I couldn't remember the years

I invented the photocopier.

Now, when can I expect to start seeing my royalty checks?

I would have guessed close to the right year, I remember Xerox introducing the "50" range of machines (including the amazing 5028 and the not so great 5034) to mark 50 years of xerography, that must have been back in 1988 when I was still a relative newbie. I remember threatening to take out a grievance procedure against a team leader who told me he wouldn't have me trained on the 5034 because he didn't think a girl could manage it!!!!

I haven't met you in person yet, but I'd know better than to say that to you.
