In 1944 Battelle signed a royalty-sharing agreement with Carlson and began to develop commercial applications for xerography. Frustrated by the difficulty and expense of copying documents, Carlson in 1938 invented a method of transferring images from one piece of paper to another using static electricity. Carlson was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1906 and became a patent lawyer employed by a New York electronics firm. Xerography, a word derived from the Greek words for "dry" and "writing," was the invention of Chester Carlson.
Wilson won, and in 1947 Haloid entered into an agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute, a nonprofit research organization in Columbus, Ohio, to produce a machine based on a new process called xerography. When the war ended Haloid faced stiff competition from new paper manufacturers.Īmidst this, Haloid needed to come up with new products, particularly following a showdown between Mosher, who wanted to sell Haloid, and Wilson, who did not. During the war the Armed Forces needed high-quality photographic paper for reconnaissance, and business boomed. Tension and resentment between labor and management persisted until World War II. When Mosher proved intransigent, Wilson stepped in and offered concessions. In 1936 Haloid's 120 employees went on strike for benefits and higher wages. To help pay for the acquisition, Haloid went public in 1936, and selling Rectigraphs became an important part of Haloid's business. Wilson, the son of one of the founders, decided that Haloid should buy the Rectigraph Company, a photocopying machine manufacturer that used Haloid's paper. By 1934 Haloid's sales were approaching $1 million. It took several years, but when Haloid Record finally came out in 1933 it was so successful that it saved the company from the worst of the Great Depression. To broaden the company's market share, Haloid's board decided to develop a better paper. Mosher kept Haloid profitable and opened sales offices in Chicago, Boston, and New York City. Mosher, who became president but left the day-to-day running of the company to its founders. In 1912 control of the company was sold for $50,000 to Rochester businessman Gilbert E. Its neighbor, Eastman Kodak Company, ignored the company, and Haloid managed to build a business on the fringe of the photography market. Xerox can trace its roots to 1906, when a photography-paper business named The Haloid Company was established in Rochester, New York.
