Abstract
An improved screen drum type electrographic apparatus which can obtain a picture image having a correct aspect ratio is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical lens arranged in an optical passage including an optical system for scanning a manuscript such as printed matter disposed on a table. The cylindrical lens has such a radius of curvature that an image magnification in the scanning direction only is defined by 1/K (K>1) and a length which is sufficient to optically cover the scanning width of a screen drum or the manuscript. The apparatus is so constructed that the ratio of the peripheral speed of the screen drum to the moving speed of the manuscript table or the optical system for scanning manuscript is defined by 1/K.
