Tuch-Rite Self Teaching Course
notes: label: Description
content: In a world before copying machines and computers, every letter, memo, and report had to be typed many times. If you made one mistake, you typed it again. Secretaries drafted, corrected, and retyped in an almost endless loop. Offices had typing pools (dozens of women) making enough perfect copies for everyone. There was no backspace key!
label: Description
content: Typewriters were expensive. You could practice at home by using the Tuch-Rite keyboard and listening to instructions on the vinyl record that came with it.
