MIMEOGRAPH Meaning and Definition

1. The mimeograph is a printing device that was widely used in the mid-20th century for efficiently duplicating written or drawn material. It consists of a cylindrical drum, usually made of metal, which is attached to a handle. The drum is rotated manually or with the help of electricity. A stenciled master copy of the document to be duplicated is placed on the drum, secured with clips, and then ink is applied to the surface of the drum.

   As the drum rotates, ink is forced through the openings in the stencil onto a sheet of paper that is fed underneath. This process creates multiple identical copies of the original document. The mimeograph uses a technique called duplicating, which is a form of stencil printing.

   Due to its simplicity and efficiency, the mimeograph became a staple in schools, offices, and other institutions for producing documents such as worksheets, handouts, and newsletters. It provided a cost-effective way to reproduce materials in large quantities without the need for expensive printing presses.

   However, with the advent of photocopiers and digital printing technologies, the mimeograph gradually fell out of use. Today, it is mostly seen as a relic of the past, but it holds historical significance as an early form of mass communication and a testament to the ingenuity of inventors in the field of printing.

Etymology of MIMEOGRAPH

The word "mimeograph" is derived from two Greek words: "mimos", meaning "mime" or "imitator", and "graphos", meaning "writing" or "drawing". The term was coined to describe a copying machine invented in the late 19th century that produced copies by transferring ink onto paper through a stencil. The mimeograph was called so because it imitated or reproduced the original document, similar to the way a mime imitates actions or scenes. Over time, "mimeograph" became a common term to refer to these copying machines and the process of duplicating documents using them.
