photostated

Made a duplicate

Photostated means copied using a Photostat machine, an early 20th-century device that produced photographic reproductions of documents.

Before modern photocopiers, important papers were routinely photostated for records: The clerk photostated the deed and filed the original.

The term now sounds dated, largely replaced by photocopied or simply copied.
