carbon copy
Pre-Xerox office duplicate
A carbon copy is a duplicate document made using carbon paper, which transfers ink to a sheet beneath the original.
The term persists in email's "cc" field for sending copies to additional recipients.
Figuratively, a carbon copy is any exact replica: The sequel was a carbon copy of the original film.
