as follows: Erase the wrongly typed word. Align the
carriage with the last letter in the word before the space .
Depress the space bar (23) twice and then hold the typing
position shift key (12) down while typing the whole word
again - correctly. Should you happen to type an extra
letter in a word , you can use the same method to conceal
the space after erasing it. This time, though , depress the
space bar (23) three times and then hold the typing posi-
tion shift key (12) down while typing the word correctly.
When making corrections on machine A, use the back-
space key (11 ). Erase the wrongly-typed word and align
the carriage with the first letter in the word after the space.
Depress the backspace key to its first (non-repeating)
position and hold it there while typing the last letter in the
word. Depress the backspace key again and type the next
letter. Continue in this manner until the word is complete.
If you have typed an extra letter in a word instead, begin
one space to the left of the word after the erased word .

10 tabulates it to one space before the next tab stop, and so
on. Note that space is provided for the commas in thousands
and millions (1 ,000 and 1 ,000,000).
Repeat keys (apart from operating keys mentioned earlier

Fig. G shows the three positions of a repeat key. I - not
depressed. 11 -depressed for normal typing. Ill -depressed
harder for repetion .
Ruling lines. Fig. H.
Drawing lines for tables by hands is time-consuming and
unnessessary. Let the machine help you! Insert the point of a
ballpoint pen or hard lead pencil into one of the holes in the
line finder (7).
• Horizontal lines - depress the carriage release (1 0) and
move the carriage along as far as required.
• Vertical lines - disengage the platen with the line space
platen release (30) and turn the platen knob.
