Nanotechnology 20 century: the Soviet Photocopying
It elektrofotokopirovalnye phones ER-620KZ and ER-420R. A 1988 production, the second a little younger, but also not new. Both operational. And not just in working condition, but also to work to its fullest.

They occupy an entire room in the design institute "Stavropolgrazhdanproekt." Monumental gizmos. Why do they need now? For the same reason and the day before - to make copies of drawings and other documents. In the next room are modern roller scanners and high-tech printers and plotters, copiers powerful newcomers, but the good old horse era are still in demand. Why is that? Because they can work day without prodyhu and it does not fail and do not overheat, and most importantly - they can shove paper of any thickness, weight and quality, and ink for the ER, and the media - tiny purple glass beads - are cheaper than cartridges for new equipment. As a result, the cost of copies made on the eras below at times. Although such machines in the ranks remains less and less ink and media is no need to look for from antique dealers or replace something primitive: they are produced commercially, and buy them no problem. We just know the place. I would suggest that, if the situation with supplies will not change, these units will be able to work without interruption even many years.
Submission of the original document to be copied:
The document falls and served again and again, finished copies are wound onto a roller behind:
On a shelf under the roller scattered something like dust. In fact, it is not dust and spilled the media, those tiny purple glass balls. At the bottom of the pipe for cooling air is supplied, it is served here:
