PHOTOSTATTING Meaning and Definition

1. Photostatting is a process that involves creating reproductions of documents, photographs, or printed materials through the use of a photostat machine. The term originates from the name of the machine itself, the Photostat, which was a type of photocopying device invented by the company Photostat Corporation in the early 20th century.

   The process of photostatting involves placing the original document onto a glass plate within the machine and exposing it to a light source. The document is then photographed with a specialized camera that creates a negative image of the original. This negative image is then transferred onto a photosensitive paper through a chemical development process, resulting in a positive copy of the original document.

   Photostatting was widely used in the 20th century as a means of reproducing important documents, such as legal papers, maps, or architectural plans. It provided a convenient and efficient method of duplication, allowing multiple copies to be made quickly and easily.

   However, with the advancement of technology, photostatting has largely been replaced by more modern photocopying methods, such as digital scanning and printing. While photostatting may no longer be a commonly used technique, it still holds historical significance as one of the earliest methods of document reproduction.

Etymology of PHOTOSTATTING

The word "photostatting" is derived from the trademarked name "Photostat", which refers to a technology or process for making photographic copies of various documents. The term "Photostat" was coined by the Commercial Photo Company, a subsidiary of the Eastman Kodak Company, which introduced the Photostat machine in 1907. It combined the words "photo" (referring to photography) and "stat" (short for "static", indicating a static or fixed image). Over time, "photostat" became a verb to describe the act of reproducing documents using this specific machine. While the Photostat technology has become obsolete with the advent of newer and more advanced copying methods, the term "photostatting" continues to be used as a verb to describe similar processes or actions of making copies.
