This was the beginning of office copying.

The 914 Copier is versatile; anything you can see, it can copy in black and white. Even if there’s blue in the original (ball point signatures) or yellow (traffic forms) or red (rubber stamps). What’s more, copies can be made from books or rigid materials. The original doesn’t move.
