Reg. No: ST 025475
- Summary:
- Gestetner Cyclostyle No 6 Duplicator, circa 1913 with paper feeder and case.
This is a two drum rotary stencil machine. A stencil, in poor condition, is still attached. The double-drum design inked the stencil with rollers, which picked up the ink from a tube.
In 1881, David Gestetner (1854-1939) invented a simple stencil perforator using what was called the Cyclostyle pen which had a tiny toothed wheel on the end. The wheel was rolled along, punching tiny perforations in a sheet of wax coated paper. The next step forward the Rotary Cyclostyle in 1901. This was a rotary stencil machines allowing copies to be rolled out on a continuous basis. This discovery was the birth of office automation.
Gestetner set up a business to manufacture duplicators in Tottenham, North London, England.
A plate on back of machine includes this caution:
'Each sheet of Rotary Cyclostyle Paper and each Tube of Ink must bear my signature as follows
D. Gestetner' - Description:
- Drum duplicator with paper feeder and case.
