Facsimile

facsimile (n.)

an exact copy, especially of written or printed material

Merriam Webster definition,  ‘an exact copy’.  I found this word in the text “Walk with me”, by David L. Ulin.

“…where is stood squat and compressed as i drove past, a facsimile in incremental scale.”

while this word did confuse me at first, because when searching this word up results of a fax machine showed up, this word means copy of, or to copy, hence the fax machine.
