Nice memories. Former Saxonite..

curious that nobody mentioned Kodak. I was working for Danka when they acquired Kodak. It created a mess but the equipment was solid.

The 55 was the first console with dual paper feeds and was the basis of three more spinoff models, the 111 and the 211 and the 412.
