 The Dead media Project:Working Notes:40.8
This is called a "spirit duplicator," and not a mimeograph, although mimeograph was the generic term for several distinct devices.
The Hectographic or "gelatin" duplicator, according to one source, "originally applied to a process which involved transferring the material to be copied from a sheet upon which it had been written with a special ink to a pad made from a mixture of gelatin, glycerin, and sometimes glue."(Doss, 1955, p.
The spirit duplicator master consisted of a smooth paper master sheet and a "carbon" paper sheet (coated with a waxy compound similar to that used in the hectograph) acting "backwards" so that the wax compound (we'll call it the "ink") was transferred to the back side of the master sheet itself.

However, it also was used in professional situations; in Macy's advertising department during the 1950s and 1960s, ad layouts were duplicated on a hectograph to make file copies for future reference.
Before the popularization of spirit duplicators and the mimeograph, there were mechanized hectography machines which used a drum, rather than a simple flat pan of gelatin.

The hectograph or gelatin duplicator is a printing process which involves transferring from an original sheet prepared with special inks to a gelatin pad.
The special aniline dyes for making the master copy came in the form of ink or in pens, pencils, carbon paper, and even typewriter ribbon; the pencils and pens are sometimes still available.
The process also lent itself to small runs of fanzines in the earlier 20th century.
