| Does anyone remember the old 3M thermal copiers that used pink onion skin paper layed over the thermal paper that ran at a top speed of 3 minutes per copy? Lets not foget the old Xerox 660 which started it all. God they made money on that machine. Back then no one could by a copier, you had to lease it directly from Xerox. It wasn't until their patents started running out at the 17yr mark,then the Jananese entered the market and the rest is history. | |

The XEROX 660 "desk top" copier was spawned by the XEROX
813! Thats a funny model number!
When it made a copy it was optically reduced, and could
not be made size for size.
The 813 was brown, took a long time to warm up, and when it did
warm up it sat there making all kinds of relay clacking.
This clacking sold more model 660s, because they were quiet.
The Cheshire division of Xerox took the basic model 660
and built a "com fiche" reader printer which
worked well using the correct fische, but would do nothing
if the fische were the light blue diazo copied fische.
Cheshire also took the basic 660 and developed a machine that
scanned cards that had names and addresses on them,
make a copy onto small sticky labels.
The card feeder could cause some grief if they weren't
treated carefully.
The rest of the 660s went to copier heaven! RIP!
