A wikipedia article refers to a school newspaper run on a 'jellygraph' in <I>The Pothunters</I> by P. G. Wodehouse. We mostly used it for posters. You had to use special pencils to draw the original, then transfer it to the surface of the gelatin which was kept in a paper-sized flat tin. You could get quite a few copies from it before it started to fade.

As a young teenager I was a n enthusiastic cyclist and, with a few friends, decided to form a cycle club, at which point I thought we should have a magazine. I managed to coax a friendly neighbour in to typing the articles for us and invented a complicated process to copy the typescript using paraffin of all things. The copies got fainter and fainter as they came off the "press", of course, but the process (the details of which are long forgotten, alas) could cope with reproductions as well.<BR/>You have stimulated another early(ish) memory that had lain dormant!
