  Copygraph \Cop"y*graph\, n.
     A contrivance for producing manifold copies of a writing or
     drawing; -- made obsolete by later developments in copying
     technology; see {xerography}.
     [1913 Webster +PJC]
  


     Note: The writing or drawing is made with aniline ink on
           paper, and a reverse copy transfered by pressure to a
           slab of gelatin softened with glycerin. A large number
           of transcripts can be taken while the ink is fresh.
           [1913 Webster]
  
                 Various names have been given to the process [the
                 gelatin copying process], some of them acceptable
                 and others absurd; hectograph, polygraph,
                 copygraph, lithogram, etc.         --Knight.
           [1913 Webster]
