Carlson motivation came during his time as a patent analizator.Velik part of his job was to re-create flawless copies of drawings submitted by the inventors, and Carlson quickly realized that the invention is that the effort would mean a photocopy. So he sat out to design and create was is now known as copy machines.
He graduated with a degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1928, appealed to the experts in the middle of the Great depresije.Legenda goes, 22-year-old Carlson filed for more than 80 jobs before finally hired by Bell Laboratories in New York ... I was fired within a year.
Carlson will find work again patent attorney near Wall Street. About a year later he was hired by the PR Mallory (now known as Duracell), a manufacturer of electrical parts, where he became Head of their patent .. When not working, Carlson participated in the New York Law School, and eventually received a BA degree.
It was during his time in the office of a patent attorney to Carlson came up with what will be his biggest success. And in the autumn of 1938, Carlson and assistant, using a complicated procedure that involved glass slides, zinc plate, lamplights, negatively charged dust and heat make a written copy of the slide cartridge is said to "10-23-38 ASTORIA ."Despite this incredible creature, no company Carlson sufficient financial support to assist him in developing and improving. It was not until 1944, when a non-profit organization called Battelle Memorial Institute, agreed to financially back Carlson, in exchange for a share of the profits ... if any.
, however, Battelle Memorial Institute's funding is limited, and Carlson quickly became aware that I need more financial support to complete their project.
that support came from Rochester, New York, home to a similar salt company and its director of research John Dassauer. Daussuer company joined Carlson in 1946 as a scientific work, and is also responsible for changing the names of the process of "electrophotography" to "Xerography," the name used today. It is derived from the Greek word "XEROS" and "graphos," which means "dry" and "write", respectively.
In 1947, similar to the salt produced the first copier. By 1949, the first photocopier was offered for public purchase. However, it was massive and hard work, and initially failed financially.
However, technology continues to improve, and Carlson adjusted his project to create a better result projekt.Konačni Carlson's invention was the first commercial automatic copy machine, Xerox 914, which was published in 1960.
Carlson died eight years later. His greatest invention, the Xerox 914, currently sits on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC
