The Week in Copiers Fifteen Years Ago
The Second Week of February 2006
I had a little time after work today to review a Minnella's Pocket Guide to Copiers (low and middle volume) from 1990. I wanted to see how many companies were in the business that offered dealerships. Notice I did call them manufacturers and the reason for that is many of these companies bought the copiers from the manufacturer but then re-labeled them as a different brand.
Can anyone guess how many there were in 1990? Do you give up? There were 25 companies! With many obscure names such as Silver Reed, Sanyo, Towa, Selex and Swintec. Interesting that four of those five names also manufactured typewriters.
