Now Iāve seen the picture, eeee gods yes I remember them. Guess I never knew their name, was just a copier to me. I was young and naĆÆve.

Hi Richard
I do remember using one back in the mid 1970ās when I worked in the UK (now live in the US). We used them to duplicate build of Materials and other forms. You made a āmasterā sheet and then used a hand crank to make copies. I think the chemicals was a mix of methylated sprits and ? Still remember the smell. Fond memories

Maybe youāre just too young, and they werenāt being used anymore by the time you were in school. You couldnāt help but notice the smell of fresh dittos when they were handed out.

I came across this thread in a roundabout way, and looked at the pics of the handwritten scores.
One thing that stood out was Scarborough Fair - something I learned when I first tried guitar 20 odd years ago.
Couldnāt remember the chord sequence, so seeing this was a breath of fresh air

I not only remember Dittos that the teacher would hand out but that if we were instructed to put our heads down on the desk, the desk too smelled like Dittos! I had totally forgotten those things but this thread brought it all backā¦ long, long time ago!!!

They were used through mid-80s
