Abstract: Electrostatic reproduction processes utilizing papers which have a surface resistivity of not more than 0.9-3 .times. 10.sup.11 IPC ohmn/square at a relative humidity of 25 percent and a surface resistivity of not more than 25-60 .times. 10.sup.11 IPC ohms/square at a relative humidity of 10 percent.

Abstract: An organic photoconductive composition, useful as an electrophotosensitizing material consisting of an organic photoconductive compound and a compound having an active methylene, as chemical sensitizer, represented by the formula,R--COCH.sub.2 --Xor ##EQU1## wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, alkyl, arylamino, alkylamino, aryloxy or alkoxy; X is acyl, carbamoyl, phenyl-substituted carbamoyl or cyano; Y is carbonyl, oxygen, sulfur, ##EQU2## (wherein L is hydrogen or alkyl); Z is a residue necessary to form a 5- or 6-membered ring, and method for making the same.

Abstract: An electrophotographic process comprising forming an electrostatic image on the surface of a sensitive member, transferring the electrostatic image onto the surface of a transfer member, and developing the image so transferred.

Abstract: An electrophotographic sensitive member comprises of a flexible web having a photosensitive layer and provided with a longitudinally uni-directionally heat contractible insulating connector sheet of a predetermined length extending from one end thereof. In attaching the sensitive member over an endless support, the free end of the sensitive member is adhered to the free end of the connector sheet and the connector sheet is contracted to tightly embrace the member on the endless support upon the application of heat.
