Gestetner Machine

A black Gestetner machine on a wooden table. Its internal workings are visible from the outside: rollers, gears, dials and a crank. Behind it is a black case with the the word Gestetner in a script font written across it.

Being able to print documents is an important requirement for producing political writings. Gestetners and other duplicating machines put this within the reach of small low-budget groups.
