Who invented the xerox photocopy machine?

Answer 1

Thomas Edison

One of the greatest inventors in history, Thomas Edison (1847-1931) is most remembered for his invention of the electric light and designing one of the original electric power stations, which brought electricity to millions. He also invented the original copy machine. Later known as a mimeograph machine (patented by Edison in 1887), it was a stencil devise that forced ink through the holes in the stencils to duplicate or copy the original document. One disadvantage of the mimeograph was that the original had to be specially created as a mimeograph stencil or master.

The machine more commonly called a copier in the early 21st century is a xerographic copier. The process was invented by Chester Carlson. It was brought to market by Carlson, working with a tam from the Battelle Institute and a team from The Haloid Company. Haloid later changed its name to Xerox Corporation.

Answer 2

Chester A. Carlson invented the xerographic process in New York City in 1938. The Xerox machine, the photocopying machine introduced in 1958, was developed by Mr Carlson along with a large team of engineers at Battelle Labs in Columbus, Ohio, and Haloid Corporation (later Xerox Corporation) in Rochester, NY.

Answer 3

The xerographic copying process used in plain paper copiers was invented by Chester Carlson in 1938. The first commercial machines using this process were brought to market by the Haloid-Xerox Company, later named Xerox Corporation, in the late 1950s.

The process that we now call xerography, or photocopying, was invented by Chester F. Carlson. His first successful demonstration of the process, which he named electrophotography, occurred on 22 October 1938. Carlson eventually patented the process, but it was the 1950s before a commercially successful application of the process came to market through the Haloid Corporation, later known as the Xerox Corporation.

Answer 5

Xeroxgraphy, the photocopy process that was commercially introduced by Xerox/Haliod in the late 1950s was invented by Chester Carlson in 1938.

Answer 6
