• A. Drum
• B. Roller
• C. Handle
• D. Silk carrier

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Roller

In a stencil duplicating machine (Gestetner / Mimeograph), the Roller (specifically the ink roller) is responsible for taking ink from the drum and spreading it evenly across the stencil master to create a clear impression on the paper.

• Roller: Spreads ink evenly over the stencil.

• Drum: Holds the ink reservoir and stencil attached to its surface.

• Handle: Used to manually rotate the drum to operate the duplicator.

• Silk carrier: The fine mesh wrapped around the drum that allows ink to pass through to the stencil.
