Example of a photographic system once commonly used for copying documents. Main unit consists of the camera, which contains a roll of photosensitive paper, a built-in paper cutter, and trays containing fluids for developing and fixing the exposed image. A darkroom is not required. The resulting copy, or "photostat" is a negative image. The operator makes positives by copying this negative. Although focus and exposure settings are simplified, Photostat machines do require a trained operator. For this reason, and because the copying process is slow and the chemicals and paper expensive, Photostat machines were rendered obsolete by the perfection of dry process, electrostatic copiers like the Xerox. - Area Notes
