Gestetner

noun, a type of early copying machine used in the mid-20th century (and described in the quote), manufactured by the Gestetner company

“A Gestetner, which is a copier. Like an old copier machine that you’d have.”
“The hand crank one?”
“The hand crank one. They used to have in public school, and when you got the fresh paper, you could smell the ink. Oh, it smelled really nice. You’d get these great big tubes of black ink, and you had to squeeze the ink in behind somewhere.”
“Yeah when you typed on the paper, it made marks for the ink to come through.”
“Yeah, we had a paper that had two or three layers, some kind of a copy paper with a hole when you typed on it. This is old fashioned ‘Where’s the letters?’ typing. And you would run that through, and it would leave the ink impression, and then you would crank the thing. And I can still remember that sound, ‘a-clink, a-clink, a-clinka’.”
“I used to do a newsletter for The Farmer’s Union that way.”
