This is a high-speed copier, so two corona wires are needed inside the charge
corona unit [B] to give a sufficient, uniform negative charge to the drum surface.
The stainless steel grid plate makes the corona charge uniform and controls the
amount of negative charge on the drum surface by applying a negative voltage to
the grid.
