Summary

Multilith duplicator model 750, with handbook.

The Multilith was a printing process that required either chemically fixing copy on a metal sheet or preparing a paperlike master copy by typing, printing, or drawing.

The machine was used primarily by small businesses. The Multilith operated on the same principle as lithography, but through the use of paper placed on a cylinder and run off.

Lithography is a printing process in which the image to be printed is rendered on a flat surface, as on sheet zinc or aluminum, and treated to retain ink while the nonimage areas are treated to repel ink.

The following accessories accompany the machine:
Cover
Reference Book
Plastic bag of covers for rollers, containing a roll of fabric material with adhesive backing
Cardborad box containing spare blanket, instructions for care of blanket and a cylinder (wood core surrounded by felt and paper) with an unidentified use
