Abstract
Abstract Electrophotographical recording process wherein a pattern of increased conductivity is produced image-wise in a photoconductive insulating recording layer containing as essential photoconductive compound a photoconductive 1,2,3,4tetrahydroquinoline. The photoconductive compound can be chemically and spectrally sensitized and charged either negatively or positively.
