MIMEOS

MIMEOS
ScnMaster
pieces of paper that have been copied off on a mimeograph, a printing device, commonly used in offices, in which a waxed paper stencil bearing text that has been cut by a typewriter, or text or a drawing done by hand with a stylus (a pointed tool for marking), is fastened to a drum which is inked on the inside so that the ink penetrates the cut areas and is deposited on a new sheet of paper with each revolution of the drum. For example, HCO Bulletins and Policy Letters were mimeographed. These issues are still referred to today as "mimeos" whether produced with a mimeograph or by other printing methods.
