Function
To copy a handwritten document by applying pressure to a sheet of tissue paper placed over the ink original.
Technical
Patented by James Watt in 1780, copy presses were once a common tool in offices, providing the simplest means of making copies of hand written documents. To copy a letter, a damp sheet of "onion skin" copy paper was placed over the freshly written page and then both were placed in the press. When squeezed together the thin, absorbent copy paper would pick up some of the ink from the letter. This reverse image of the text could be read correctly by viewing it through the back of the nearly transparent sheet. In the twentieth century copy presses were superceded by the use of carbon paper with typewriters and, later, by photographic copying methods.
