A lot of people knew what it was but a lot did not. I think the cutoff date was around 40. Nobody younger than that had teachers that used a mimeograph. Funny how people remember the smell

It's an mimeograph machine. This is what was used to make copies on paper before copy machines came out. I used one for a couple of years at one of my first secretarial jobs. It could get very messy if you put too much ink on it.

That's when they came out with about 8 different colored paper to use for your copies. They were pretty good looking copies.

Thanks for the MHGirl 🌹

Looks like a mimeograph machine. My school still has one in the back office.

[exitseven]

I wonder if you can still get the masters for it?

[musicbrain5]

I don’t know! I should ask the office manager. There are a lot of relics hidden in the bowels of the school. I found one of those credit card imprinters in the staff room as well! I took it for my classroom, and Amazon sells huge packs of carbon slips that fit into it.

[exitseven]

@musicbrain5 I recently tossed out a whole pile of overhead projectors.

[musicbrain5]

I still have one of those in the classroom too, although it will be gone soon. I’m definitely going to keep my acetates though. We just had smart boards installed and a small lectern that has a camera on it, which sends an image to the smart board. It also has a computer.

[exitseven]

yes, I have worked with those.

[MCheetah]

It's a mimeograph, also known as a Ditto Machine. As in, a 1960s era photocopier.

Although I cheated and used Yandex to find out.

It's a device my uncle used when he worked for the mafia. After busting the door to the house you grab the guy and three people hold him, one force his fingers into the device, and the 5th gangsta turns the handle.

The dude becomes really cooperative after a very short while

[Rosexøxø]

Okay but your comment just made my day! 😂

[exitseven]

Yes, that is correct.

[Bratsondanielle]

Lol... so what is your answer mister?

[exitseven]

Mu uncle used to use one of these.

[Bratsondanielle]

My uncle had that one too. He used to turn up the power real high until they cooperated

[Bratsondanielle]

And said where the cocaine was hidden

[Bratsondanielle]

Mimeograph... I'll google...

It’s a Time traveling device you simply just Masturbate until orgasm wipe your fluids on the paper and then Think of a Time you wanna go to whether that’s traveling in time or back in time and then you spin it 3 times and you are time traveled through time.

[exitseven]

You have quite an imagination

[888theGreat]

and tired fingers i bet

[PetiteBabe64]

@888theGreat Tired fingers What Are you Smoking? Fingers don’t get Tired there bones 🦴 They do the Task they were Designed for. A something so powerful like Fingers were never designed to get a tired. If your fingers really do Get Tired then I suggest you Get yourself a doctor to figure out The physical condition that is affecting your bone Structure.

[AviatorTom]

Looks like an old-fashioned mimeograph machine, used for making copies from a master. Schools used to use it to make handouts and tests.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Something from the ancient 1980's would be my guess, but no... no clue what it is. Maybe a old style hand copier.

[exitseven]

ANCIENT 1980s? OUCH OUCH 😊😊😊😊

[Aerissa_Jade]

Being ancient isn't a bad thing, means you have lots of experience and wisdom... its why I often say, we don't get older... we gain levels.

[exitseven]

@aerissa_jade I say some people grow up, some people just get older.

[888theGreat]

Yea, they think 50 plus people all live in Nursing homes

[Jaximus-Lion]

A duplocator? My uncle had somthing similar in the 90's in Iraq. A roneo? Old school copy/duplicator machine

[Lliam]

I think it's called a mimeograph machine. Basically a copier used to run of multiple copies from a master copy. The ink smelled amazing. LOL

[Msputiton]

I don't but looking at it i can guess.

Like a stamp machine or paper printer of some sort

[Msputiton]

Still don't know what that is

[420Rachel]

Is it a vintage printer?

[exitseven]

Yes, something like that.

[Sarahr123]

I’m not sure - I have never seen one of those before… it looks quite outdated though.

[NathanDavis]

that's an old school copy-printer... my uncle has a couple of those

[genericname85]

i'm probably too young to know this but it looks like a thing that you use to multiply some sort of document or educational material with.

[andreasderjuengere]

A kind of printer for a left handed operator?

[douride2]

It is some kind of a printer or copying machine. I'm not sure the proper name for it.

[Tellme]

The smell was kinda unique and unforgettable! 😉 Childhood memories from school.

[SnowedIn]

That's a mimeograph isn't it?

[joeldalton]

Yup. I still know the smell.

[Bethany22]

Is it a pasta maker?

[exitseven]

I'm not coming for your house for an Italian dinner.😊😊😊

[Bethany22]

[Fuentes]

[msc545]

Uhm. Mimeograph machine? for printing?

[TrueConfection]

Nope

[exitseven]

you are kidding me, right?

[TrueConfection]

It looks like a printer perhaps? I don't really know. I thought the old printers were much bigger.
