- <p> DIED. JOHN H. DESSAUER, 88, research head of Xerox Corp.; in
- Rochester, New York. In 1946 Dessauer was investigating new
- technologies for Xerox--then the Haloid Co.--when he noticed
- a reference in a trade publication to "electrophotography."
- Dessauer swiftly recognized the potential of the process, invented
- by Chet Carlson, to duplicate documents, and persuaded Haloid
- to acquire the rights to it. Dessauer led the team that produced
- the first commercial copier in 1959.
