His family moved to Seattle, California, Mexico and Arizona during his childhood At times the Carlson family lived in desert huts and mountain cabins. Because his father was nearly an invalid, Chester Carlson supported the family, mostly through odd jobs and manual labor. When he was 17, his mother died, leaving him the sole breadwinner. The family at one time lived in a former chicken coop with a concrete floor. Chester slept in an alley, in a sleeping bed he made. "It looked very doubtful if I could ever go to college," Carlson had once said. "Invention was the one chance to start with nothing and end up with a fortune." - Page 3- carlson,_chester_(photographs) Carlson earned a spot in Caltech, graduating amid the Great Depression with a pocket notebook of 400 invention ideas such as a raincoat with gutters, a see-through toothpaste tube, and a better bottle cap. Eventually he took a job in New York City patent office. He studied in the public library, where he was amazed by the amount of labor exerted to hand copy documents. Carlson saw the need for a quick copier. Then in 1937, he discovered photoconductivity, a property in which a material changes electrical characteristics under light. By projecting an image on a photoconductive drum, he could change the static charge on only the black spaces that formed text or images. He would then dust the drum with a dark material and static would hold the dust in place until Carlson could transfer the dust to paper and fuse it into place making a copy. Carlson spent nearly ten years trying to sell his idea to many companies, but was rejected everywhere. Eventually a small photo supply company, Haloid Co. in Rochester, NY bought the idea and developed his invention. Haloid flourished with the new invention, changing its name to Xerox, a term playing on the Greek words for "dry" and "writing." Chester Carlson married Dorris Hudgins in January 1946. He and Dorris lived in a Rochester, NY suburb and donated to spiritual and parapsychological groups. Carlson was uncomfortable with the sudden wealth his invention brought, and dealt with that by giving the money away, usually anonymously. He made contributions to organizations that promoted world peace. He supported civil rights organizations and bought apartment buildings in New York City and Washington, D.C. and arranged for the buildings to be racially integrated. Carlson died of a heart attack on September 19, 1968. He was 62. Dorris Carlson lived until 1998 and continued their works in community and religious programs by contributions and service. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Contents note This collection is comprised of over 1700 images housed in 11 archival boxes and 4 scrapbooks and one oversized folder. These images depict the lives of Chester and Dorris Carlson, from early childhood through adolescence and young adulthood, and include their extended families.

  • The Story of Xerography Page 1 of 13
    The Story of Xerography Page 1 of 13 Our Heritage, Our Commitment "10-22-38 ASTORIA" This humble legend marks the time and place of an auspicious event. It is the text of the first xerographic image ever fashioned. It was created in a makeshift laboratory in Queens, NY. by a patent attorney named Chester Carlson, who believed that the world was ready for an easier and less costly way to make copies. Carlson was proved right only after a discouraging ten-year search for a company that would develop his invention into a useful product. It was the Haloid Company, a small photo-paper maker in Rochester, N.Y, which took on the challenge and the promise of xerography and thus became, in a breathtakingly short time, the giant multinational company now known to the world as Xerox Corporation. This report contains several stories about xerography: the man who invented it, the company that made it work, and the products it yielded for the benefit of mankind. These stories chronicle a classic American success story: How men of courage and vision grew a highly profitable business from little more than the seed of an idea. Certainly, Xerox has changed greatly in size and scope since the historic 914 copier was introduced in 1959. But we also believe that the basic personality of Xerox has never changed. We are convinced that the essential attributes that brought the young Xerox such spectacular rewards in office copying are the same attributes we need to assure continued success for the mature Xerox as it develops total office information capability.

    DATE: February 11, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Works From Four Esteemed Photographers Expand the Getty’s Holdings and Shed Light on the Growth of the Photographs Collection Recent Acquisitions: Eugène Atget, Brett Weston, William Garnett, Milton Rogovin At the Getty Center, February 3–May 30, 2004 LOS ANGELES—Recently acquired work from four major figures of 20th- century photography is presented in Recent Acquisitions: Eugène Atget, Brett Weston, William Garnett, Milton Rogovin, at the Getty Center, February 3–May 30, 2004. The exhibition features groups of photographs that reveal the creative processes of these four visionaries. The images presented span a century of photographic innovation; highlights include Atget’s atmospheric garden views and Parisian street scenes, modernist cityscapes by Weston, abstract aerial landscapes by Garnett, and Rogovin’s worldwide survey of coal miners at work and at home. Together they reflect the Getty’s philosophy on acquiring photographs—to collect groups of works by a diverse array of master photographers, producing a resource with depth as well as breadth. Recent Acquisitions features photographs that were assembled between 2000–2003 from a variety of sources. In 2000, the Getty acquired 28 important images by Eugène Atget (1857–1927) from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Over the course of nearly a year, Getty curators selected photographs that best complement the Museum's existing strong Atget holdings. Some 250 images by Brett Weston (1911–1993) were donated by the Brett Weston Archive, founded by the private -more- Page 2 collector Christian Keesee. The gift filled a gap in the Getty’s collection, which already housed a substantial body of work by Brett Weston’s father, Edward.

  • Copies in Seconds by David Owen
    From Copies in Seconds by David Owen. Copyright © 2004 by David Owen. Reprinted by permission of Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York. Copies in Seconds by David Owen When Chester Carlson, working in the patent office at P. R. Mallory, needed a copy of a drawing in a patent application, his only option was to have a photographic copy made by an outside company that owned a Photostat or Rectigraph machine. “Their representative would come in, pick up the drawing, take it to their plant, make a copy, bring it back,” he recalled later. “It might be a wait of half a day or even twenty-four hours to get it back.” This was a costly nuisance, and it meant that what we now think of as a mindless clerical task was then an ongoing corporate operation involving outside vendors, billing, record keeping, and executive supervision. “So I recognized a very great need for a machine that could be right in an office,” he con- tinued, “where you could bring a document to it, push it in a slot, push a button, and get a copy out.” As Carlson began to consider how such a machine might work, he naturally thought first of photography. But he realized quickly that photog- raphy had distressingly many inherent limitations. Reducing the size of a bulky Photostat machine might be possible, but a smaller machine would still require coated papers and messy chemi- cals—the two main reasons making Photostats was expensive and inconvenient. Photography, furthermore, was already so well understood that it was unlikely to yield an important discovery to a lone inventor like Carlson.

  • Photocopier Industry: at the Forefront of Servitization
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Florence Research Photocopier industry: at the forefront of servitization. Filippo Visintin Abstract The photocopier industry is undoubtedly one of the forerunners of servitization. The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of photocopiers, such as Xerox, pi- oneered the implementation of servitised business models and, over time, have de- veloped considerable system-integration, application-development and consulting capabilities. Today, these companies integrate print needs within total ICT solutions and com- pete against system integrators, consulting firms and software vendors in a large, diverse and growing document management market. This chapter provides a state of the art analysis of servitization phenomenon in the industry as well as a retro- spective analysis of its evolution. The chapter ends with a discussion of managerial implications. xy.1 Introduction The photocopier industry is one of the forerunners of servitization (Finne et al. 2013, Matsumoto and Kamigaki 2012). The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of photocopiers have profited from the sales of services and consumables and pioneered the implementation of servitised business models that are now com- mon practice in many other industries. For example, some of the challenges that photocopier OEMs have faced well in advance of many other manufacturers include the sale of the products’ usage instead of the products themselves, the adoption of pay-per-output (pay-per-page) pricing models and the delivery of integrated solu- tions and outsourcing services (Finne et al. 2013; Visintin 2012). Today, formerly analogue photocopier OEMs produce connected and digital multifunction devices. Under the heading of managed print services, they also offer integrated solutions that claim to optimise the customer’s document-related pro- cesses and infrastructure.

One is of a visionary T man who recognized a need, then devoted his life to seek- ing technical solutions and finan- cial support to fulfill it. Another is of an innovative re- search organization that had the foresight to invest in an idea and the technical talents to engineer its basic concept into a viable working process. And the third is of a small, entre- preneuring company with the courage to defy the conventional and to risk its assets in success- fully bringing a new concept and pioneering technology to the marketplace. This classic three-in-one tale stretches over two-and-a-half dec- ades and it illustrates the best in American innovation, in individ- ual initiative, and in team spirit. Despite early hardships and re- Taken during 1947 research on xerography, this photo depicts peated predictions of failure, the electrostatic imaging. effort culminated with the highly successful introduction and mar- keting of one of the twentieth century’s most novel products: an easy-to-use copying process that rapidly and inexpensively produces copies through electrical and mechanical means. With the advent of the Xerox machine, the whole world suddenly possessed the ability to generate copies at the push of a button. The process has imparted to this and future generations a new way to manage information.
