The leaf of the copying book is damped, the excess of moisture removed by an absorbent sheet, the document inserted, the book closed, and pressed in the copying press. By this means copies of correspondence are preserved for reference. Copying paper is also made up in rolls for copying machines which carry out the damping and copying automatically.
