Abstract
A copying machine including a first sheet original illuminating and conveying device for moving sheet originals and exposing the same to light, a second sheet original illuminating and conveying device for moving sheet originals disposed at a position which does not interfere with the first sheet original illuminating and conveying device and exposing the same to light, a device for controlling a sheet original so that one surface of the sheet original is exposed to light by the first sheet original illuminating and conveying device and so that the other surface of the sheet original is exposed to light by the second sheet original illuminating and conveying device, a main optical device for forming a first and a second optical path so as to enable one of the images of the sheet original conveyed by the first or the second sheet original illuminating and conveying device to be selectively exposed at an exposure position near a photosensitive medium, and a first movable mirror change-over device for selecting one of the two optical paths of the optical device.
