Here is a list of the whole series: 5016, 5018, 5021, 5028, 5034, 5126, 5321, 5328, 5334, 5624, 5626, 5818, 5820, 5824, 5826, 5828, 5830, XC-1875, XC2675
Silicone lube pooled under the fuser, what a mess. Plastics incredibly brittle, screws strip out of the plastic. The Photo-receptor cartridge "slide in" frame was all plastic would fall apart from overheating as the forward edge was so close to the fuser, etc.
I actually think the CopyFlo-11 was the first commercial machine in 1954. The 914 was introduced in 1959.

The Kyocera C2630D and its printer sibling 8026 was a piece of crap too. We had to buy 3 of them back. We're finally selling Kyocera color again after all these years. The C2630D was a Frankenstein machine with a scanner bed held up by a frame with basically the 8026 printer underneath it. On top of terrible color, it was a 26 ppm machine that would run about 8 ppm when duplexing. It was a horrible machine at so many levels. Kyocera has certainly come a long way with their color machines. Their black and white stuff has always been good in my opinion.
I remember TRW in El Segundo had the 3M machines for printing CAD drawings from Microfilm mounted on cards the size of IBM computer cards. The prints were Newspaper size. There was also a Xerox machine which printed from a rectangular sheet of microfilm. The Xerox system which basically looked like a modified 2400 seems to move from frame to frame very quickly as it cranked out the prints.
Seems these machines produced a lot of toner soot too. One of the operator's mentioned that you'd go into the bath room use a wet paper towel and the black would be seen on it from wiping your face.
I remember that if my sinuses were acting up, the toner dust was heavy enough in the air that when you walked through it was seemed difficult to breath.
This was the early 1980s.
