What is the pen and pencil carbon paper?

Carbon paper is, in general, a thin paper coated on one side with a mixture of a pigment (originally powdered carbon) and wax. Impressions on the uncoated side are transferred by the pigment/wax to a piece of parer under the coated side making a copy on a second piece of paper. Simple enough. Carbon paper intended for typewriter use (see "typewriter" under antiques) uses a thinner tissue paper for the base and a thinner carbon layer to produce a crisper impression compared to pen & pencil carbon paper. Because of this, it has a shorter effective life. That is it takers fewer impressions before it wears out. Pen and Pencil carbon paper uses a slightly thicker paper sheet as a base and a much thicker coating of pigment/way on the business side. So, while the impression transferred to the copy may not be as crisp (it doesn't need to be) the pen and pencil carbon lasts longer. Short answer: it's thicker and lasts longer but doesn't produce as crisp an impression.

What is the history of carbon copy?

A carbon copy is made by using carbon paper. Carbon paper is a very thin sheet of paper coated on one side with a film of carbon in suspension. The carbon paper is placed between two sheets of paper when intending to write or type (with a typewriter) on one of the sheets and to produce a duplicate of the writing on the second sheet of paper. It is important to have the carbon side of the carbon paper resting on the paper that will be the duplicate. The term "carbon copy" (abbreviated cc) is used to indicate the duplicate. Now, when it is possible to create duplicate copies by other means, the term "carbon copy" continues to be used to refer to the duplicate copies.
