	The ‘Ditto Machine’ — desiquintans.com
		A ditto machine was a primitive photocopier that used a solvent like methylated spirits or ammonia to transfer ink from the master copy (the template, if you will) onto other pieces of paper.
		Ditto machines were commonly used in schools, and the students believed that sniffing the solvent fumes from a freshly copied sheet would provide a high—a reasonable assumption given the instances and effectiveness of substance sniffing.
		Of course, this is now a dead technology mainly due to the entrance of speedy, efficient photocopiers like the Xerox machine in the 1970s and the laser printer in 1975, which in time would be capable of effortlessly printing on literal globs of dead tree.

		The user typed, wrote, or drew on a ditto master sheet which was backed by a second sheet of paper coated with a dye-impregnated, waxy substance.
		The ditto machine used an alcohol-based fluid to dissolve some of the dye in the document, and transferred the image to the copy paper.
		The mimeograph and ditto machines helped to print the pages which are now history, and have now themselves become a part of history.

	ditto - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		Word History: Ditto, which at first glance seems a handy and insignificant sort of word, actually has a Roman past, for it comes from dictus, "having been said," the past participle of the verb dīcere, "to say." In Italian dīcere became dire and dictus became detto, or in the Tuscan dialect ditto.
		Italian detto or ditto meant what said does in English, as in the locution "the said story." Thus the word could be used in certain constructions to mean "the same as what has been said"; for example, having given the date December 22, one could use 26 detto or ditto for 26 December.
		Ditto has even become a trademark for a duplicating machine.

	Chicago Tribune \| Eric Zorn
		Ditto, Inc., a long-gone Chicago company, was such a dominant manufacturer of the machines that the company name became generic.
		Another reason dittos disappeared, Keen said, was that photocopier companies successfully sold school administrators on the idea that the versatility and ease of use of their devices made it worth junking ditto machines and their high-volume cousins, the mimeograph machines.
		So, we were cranking out dittos for the lemonaide stand, the lost dog, the bake sale, etc, for a long time until I went to college and my parents moved (they thought, and rightly so, that it was pretty obsolete even in 1978) and got rid of it.

		By changing the connections between the individual processors, and their thresholds, Ditto's machine can be rapidly reconfigured to solve different kinds of problem.

		Ditto machine (spirit duplicator) used "ditto masters" that were two sheets together that you could type or hand-write on.
		You pressed the inked side of the ditto master against the gum for some number of seconds, peeled it off, and then pressed, by hand, each piece of paper onto the bed of gum, and it transferred the design.

		A ditto machine can be run on grain or wood alcohol if only you have had the foresight to lay in a stock of master sheets before the crunch.
		A problem with these machines is that the kachunka-kachunka noises which they make are quite distinctive and thus easily recognized by anyone who has heard them in the past.

	Flippin' off bits
		If you were to use a 3-way ditto block in a pool with mirrored disks, that means that there would be six physical copies of that block.
		We use ditto blocks to ensure that the more "important" a filesystem block is (the closer to the root of the tree), the more replicated it becomes.
		Very little data is global to all filesystems (for which we store three copies), and usually about 1.5-2% of the data is per-filesystem metadata, which means that there is about a 2% hit in terms of space and I/O for this added redundancy.

	Copying Machines
		A Ditto carbon consisted of a sheet of slick, impermeable paper (the master) attached to the front of a second sheet that had on its face a coating of paste-like ink.
		When the drum was rotated, the inked surface of the master was wiped with a solvent such as spirit ether to wet the ink, and until the ink was exhausted impressions were made on papers that were fed under the drum.
		On these machines, the frames that held the photosensitive paper and the original were in a vertical rather than horizontal plane.
