Xerography History - Invention of Xerography Xerography, the technology which started the office copying revolution, was born unheralded on October 22, 1938, the inspiration of a single man working in his spare time. The astounding success of xerography is all the more remarkable because it was given little hope of surviving its infancy. Today, xerography is a foundation stone of a gigantic worldwide copying industry, including Xerox and other corporations which make and market copiers and duplicators producing billions and billions of copies a year. www.ideafinder.com /history/inventions/xerography.htm   (1716 words)

Photography [encyclopedia] The understanding that prevails today assumes the use of a camera or camera obscura as the image forming device, and of photographic film as the recording medium, but it doesn't have to be the case. For instance, the photocopy or xerography machine is forming permanent images from a brightly lit original, but is using the transfer of static electrical charges rather than photographic film, hence the term electrophotography. Whereas the rayographs published by Man Ray in 1922 are images produced by the shadows of objects cast on the photographic paper, without the use of a camera. www.artzia.com /Arts/Photography   (487 words)

Amazon.com: Chester Carlson and the Development of Xerography (Unlocking the Secrets of Science): Books: Susan Zannos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) Chester Carlson was determined to invent an easy, inexpensive method of copying documents. In 1938, he invented the process of "electrophotography," which later became known as "xerography." He would work for more than 20 years in partnership (a royalty agreement) with both the Battelle Institute and the Haloid Company (which would later become the Xerox Company) to develop the first automatic, plain paper copier. Despite years of failure (one machine required 39 steps to make a copy; another machine caught fire each time a copy was made; the machines were so large no one could move them; and the early models were so expensive, no one could afford them), Carlson refused to give up. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/158415117X?v=glance   (617 words)
