Abstract

A stencil duplicator has a rotatable support which, in use, supports a stencil, and a feed path along which a stencil is advanced as it is loaded onto the support defined by a supporting roller spaced from the rotatable support and a smoothly arcuate guide surface extending over a considerable part of the feed path between the roller and the support. The arrangement is such that as a stencil, whose trailing part is supported by the supporting roller, is wound onto the rotatable support, it is drawn over the guide surface.
