Abstract
A particulate, resilient, electrically conductive member having a low thermal mass extends across the width of a conductive-backed recording paper and conducts electrical energy to the conductive backing to heat the paper and develop an image. The member comprises a plurality of closely spaced resilient fingers which extend across the width of the web. A curved crown on each of the fingers protrudes through a slot in a plate over which the paper passes. The ends of the fingers are restrained by the slot so that they are not readily susceptible to damage.
