Seltene schön ausgestattete Firmenschrift des englischen Kopiermaschienen-Herstellers. – „The Gestetner is a type of duplicating machine named after its inventor, David Gestetner (1854 – 1939). During the 20th century, the term Gestetner was used as a verb as in Gestetnering. The Gestetner company established its base in London, filing its first patent in 1879. The business grew, remaining within the control of the Gestetner family, and acquiring other businesses. In 1995, the Gestetner company was acquired by the Ricoh Corporation of Japan. David Gestetner was born in Hungary in 1854, and after working in Vienna and New York, he moved to London, England, filing his first copying patent there in 1879. A later patent in 1881 was for the Cyclostyle, a stylus that was part of the Cyclograph copying device. That same year, he also established the Gestetner Cyclograph Company to produce duplicating machines, stencils, styli, ink rollers and related products. The Gestetner works opened in 1906 at Tottenham Hale, north London, and employed several thousand people until the 1990s, operating in 153 different countries. Gestetner’s inventions became an overnight success, and an international chain of branch offices that sold and serviced Gestetner products was established“ (Wikipedia). – Umschlag etwas berieben und am Fuß mit kl.
