80 Years Ago Today Xerography Was Invented
Eighty years ago today, in a home laboratory in Astoria, Queens, Chester Carlson invented a process that would come to be known as xerography. The process would provide the groundwork for the invention of copy machines. Copy machines still exist today, but they no longer rely on xerography and are generally considered an aging technology with limited functionality. This wasn’t the case in the mid- to late-twentieth century. For at least fifty years, work, education, and even politics were...

Re: Xerox Celebrates the Creation of Xerography – and 75 Years of Simplifying How Work Gets Done
Interesting and a very important post. You have to wonder if he knew how further development of the process would lead to the industry we all know now. Anyone familiar with Robert P. Gundlach? He was another Rochester NY inventor who is actually noted with Carlson on the copier. As Carlson invented the Xerographic process, Gundlach developed the automation of the machine leading to multiple copies. Interested if anyone knows more.

But the development of the Xerox machine is also the story of collaboration and teamwork, which is essential to...
