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 2, English, - rotating%20helical%20aperture%20scanner

A facsimile transmitter using a scan head composed of a stationary mirror surrounded by a rotating turret of lenses. The original is mounted on a moving semicylindrical platen that feeds the document as it is scanned one line at a time. While rotating, each lens focuses scan lines onto the mirror, which in turn projects the light through an aperture and onto a photocell. 1, record 3, English, - rotating%20lens%20turret%20scanner
