0 a machine used especially in the past to make photographic copies of documents, or a copy made by such a machine
1 to make a photostat of a document:
The diary consists of some 40 odd volumes which we were not able to photostat.
The machine allows two pages to be photostatted at the same time.
In the mid and late twelfth during his earlier work on medieval medical manuscripts, obtained photostat copies of the first pages of each commentary.
That is something which cannot be done merely by the use of a microfilm or a photostat copy.
About 318,000 photostat copies and microfilms were distributed.
Naturally we informed our solicitors of the grand invention, the photostat machine, and offered to pay for copies but were refused.
The registrar at present offers to provide photostat copies of individual documents at a charge which covers the cost.
