Tabulation

The

use

of

the

tabulator

stops

and

key

simplifies

all

work

that

requires

tabulation.

The

tabulator

stops

(24)

must

first

be

set

io

the

required

positions

and

this

is

done

by

setting

them

to

the

same

numbers

on

the

mar-

gin

scale

as

is

indicated

at

the

required

positions

on

the

paper

scale

The

tabubator

stops

are

easily

moved

by

light

pressure

with

the

fingers,

but

care

musi

be

taken

that

the

indicator

of

the

tabulator

stop

is

in

exact

alignment

with

the

mark

on

the

scale.

Stops

that

are

not

required

must

be

moved

to

the

extreme left

or

right

of

the

tabulator

scale.

Seven

separate

columns

of

typ-

ing

may

be

produced

by

the

use

of

all

the

tabulator

stops

in

conjunction

with

the

right

hand

margin

stop

and

margin

release

key.

Pressure

on

the

tabulator

key

(23) causes the carriage to glide

automatically

to

the

next

tabu-

lator

stop.

The

key

is

released

when

the

stop

is

reached.

 

Erasing

and

Correcting

Move

the

carriage

to

the

side

so

that

no

eraser

dust

falls

into

the

machine.

Use

a

typewriter

rubber

and

eraser

shield

for

the

top

copy,

and

a

soft

rubber

for

carbon

copies.

Do

not

type

omitted

letters

in

between

the

others,

but

use

the

“correcting

space

bar’.

Rub

out

the

wrongly

typed

word

and

move the

carriage

back

to

the

last

letter

of

the

preceding

word.

Tap

the

space

bar

once.

Then

tap

a

second

time,

hold

it

down,

and

type

in

the

first

letter

of

the

word

to

be

re-written.

Release the space bar, and repeat

this

action

throughout

the

wrongly

typed

word.
