Abstract: A toning system for an electrostatic copying machine capable of developing a latent charge image carried therepast on an electrophotographic member moved through an endless path including an arcuate section. A rotary magnetic brush is journalled for rotation on an axis parallel to the arcuate section. A toner layer is applied to at least a portion of the circumference of the brush and brought into engagement with the electrophotographic member at the arcuate section. A hopper carries a quantity of toner and a cylindrical formation is connected to the bottom of a hopper carrying a quantity of toner and spaced from and encompasses all but a segment of the volume occupied by said brush. The hopper has a wall which provides a bottom edge spaced from the surface of said brush to form a metering blade adjacent said segment.

Abstract: Electrophotographic plain paper copier apparatus of a highly compact nature in which the copier is modular in construction and has a removable magazine to hold the paper supply in an arcuate disposition. A substantial number of the components and parts of components of the copier are located within the general quadrant subtended by the magazine thereby shortening the overall length of the copier. The copier features a removable master belt support, a compact projection system, the magazine mechanism and means to couple the same into the operating system of the copier and a novel illumination adjusting means.
