 That's not what I said. What I was referring to was
copiers where the edge of the copying area comes very
close ( within margin's distance ) of the side of the
machine, so the other half of the book hangs over the
side, and copying can be performed with the book, etc.
opened to about a 90 degree angle instead of having to
try to open it flat, i.e. 180 degrees.
