The helical aperture facsimile transmitter is fairly common on low-to mid-volume fax units. The original is roller fed over a flatbed copy platen and illuminated by an area lamp. Lens and mirror optics reflect and focus one scan line of the moving document at a time, first through a fixed horizontal slit aperture, and then through a rotating helical aperture. The rotating of the helical aperture produces one lateral scan of the original per revolution, with the passing light being focused a final time onto a photocell for conversion to an electrical signal. 1, record 5, English, - rotating%20helical%20aperture%20scanner

A facsimile printing process whereby the facsimile receiver employs a sheet of copy paper covered with a carbon sheet and is mounted on a printing cylinder. As the drum rotates, a single stylus strikes the carbon set with each incoming electrical signal from the transmitter. The force of the stylus causes a carbon mark to appear on the copy paper; by traversing the length of the cylinder, the stylus imprints the entire image of the original. 2, record 10, English, - electropercussive%20process
