Computerization Ever wonder what it would be like to use a typewriter that does most of the work for you? Well, some students en- rolled in the business courses are already ex- periencing a machine such as this. Two “IBM Electronic Typewriters, Model 60 ’ have been purchased. These ma- chines have many special features that eliminate extra manual ‘‘chores”, and double-checking work. One of the most useful benefits of these typewriters is the “‘elec- tronic phrase storage.” This memory bank can re- cord frequently used 74 addresses, phrases, etc. Also, errors can be cor- rected by pressing a “Backspace Key,’’ that backs up the Carriage, and lifts off the printed- Character errors. Other features include an auto- matic centering process that prints out a typed item centered perfectly on the paper, and “‘elec- tronic margins and tabs” which save time when going from one format to another. All of these characteris- tics of the IBM typewriter make the work a lot easier, and even more fun!
