    Very cool! I love looking at old colonial-era machines, technology, tools, etc... they weren't quite up to where we're at here in the 21st century, but those people were very ingenious and came up with a lot of interesting contraptions to make life easier/better.

    Undoubtedly they would have used this to copy a treasure map while leaving behind the original... "The Secret of the Caves"?

      You made a very astute reference. I read the story now on Wikipedia, but I didn't knew it. I'm from Italy this book is not very known in Italy.

    James Watt didn't invent the steam engine. He made various improvements which made it much more efficient but many people had built steam engines long before James Watt was born.

      Thanks for the information. My main interest are typewriters and old office devices, so I could be not so precise about steam engine.

      The waterproof separators used for multiple copies were possibly covered in polymers (plastic) of the oils used.
