COPY MACHINE TURNS PAGES OF A BOOK
        Ricoh has developed the prototype of a copy machine with a device
that uses static electricity to automatically turn the pages of the book or
magzine being copied. You will no longer have to stand at the machine,
wetting your fingers, unless you want to. (New York Times 5/14/94 p.19)
