A letter written by Chester Carlson in 1950 recalls one of the first Xerox machine installations in Rochester.

City Blue Imaging Services can proudly say they were one of the first homes for Chester Carlson's creation. The letter (see below) describes one of the first Xerox copiers being put to use at the company, then known as City Blue Print Company. Carlson's letter also described the possibility of Haloid purchasing advertising in Time magazine, and the current share price for the company.
