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.— (I.L.T and S.J., 4/6/66).
