electric automatic typrwriter. At least one profes
sional firm has adopted the idea with apparent
success. There are, he explains, three ways in which
it can be of assistance. First, standard clauses
can be recorded on punched cards, available for
use in drafts. Material peculiar to the document
in hand can be interpolated at will. The advan
tages of using the cards are that there are no
inaccuracies, and the machine types automatically
at three times the speed of a competent human
typist. The other two advantages from the machine
arise from the fact that whenever the typewriter
is in use it can, at the same time as typing, punch
a card of what it is typing. So, in matters where
two engrossments are needed, lease and counter
part being the commonest example, the first can
be typed manually and a guaranteed identical
second one produced automatically in one-third
3.
of the time. It is even more interesting that, with
a machine with the right facilities, insertions and
depletions can be made without difficulty in a
complete document being produced automatically.
This allows one to make a punched card of the
draft, and then engross automatically using that
punched card, with the occasional intervention of
the typist to cope with amendments to the draft.
This substantially cuts out two-thirds of engros
sing time, while leaving all the advantages of a
"*•
clear top copy engrossment. How much does it
cost? The cheapest machine now available offering
all these facilities
is £1,375.—
