carbons
Pre-Xerox office copies
Carbons is the plural of carbon, used in specific contexts.
Carbon copies were made using carbon paper, which transferred ink through pressure: File the carbons with the originals.
In automotive contexts, carbons are carbon deposits that build up in engines.
Carbon rods or electrodes in arc lamps and batteries are also called carbons.
