My take on that issue is that when there was a major tech shift, it seems
Kodak dropped everything and "me-tooed" the process. That went on with
poloroid and certainly with zerox copiers.

I was taking some courses at Eastman Rochester while they were going through
their Kodak copier phase, and that's about all that was going on in the R&D
side. An entire wing of the building was given over to the program that
lasted only a few years.
