<p>A liquid absorbent applicator for applying a liquid to the copy sheets of a duplicating machine, is maintained at a constant moisture content. Two sensing electrodes engage the applicator and are connected with control means for a motor driving a supply means for the liquid, such as a pump or liquid elevator roller. When high resistance between the electrodes, and consequently low current between the same, indicates that the applicator is too dry, the control means actuate the electric motor which drives the pump or elevator roller to increase the moisture content of the applicator to a desired constant value. When the moisture content is too high, the control means respond to the sensing means to stop the motor and the supply of moistening liquid.</p> |
