From One Copy to Trillions, It’s 70 Years Since Xerography Was Invented
Happy
birthday to xerography. The invention
that made it possible for people the world over to create and share
information with trillions of copies and laser prints turns 70 years
old.
The
first xerographic copy was made on Oct. 22, 1938, in a makeshift
laboratory behind a beauty parlor in Astoria,
Queens, a part of New York City. The copy, preserved in the
Smithsonian Institution, reads “10-22-38 ASTORIA.” The inventor, Chester
Carlson, was a scientist and patent attorney who was determined to find
a simple way to make copies of documents.
