Dear Kidz,
Before there were computers and printers, there was something called a “typewriter”. For many years, pressing a lettered key on a typewriter caused a metal arm to swing forward and “type” the designated letter on the paper via a ribbon of ink. If each key on the typewriter was pressed slowly enough, this worked well, but when keys were pressed too fast in succession, these metal arms tended to hit each other and lock up. In 1961, IBM released a new kind of electric typewriter called an IBM Selectric. It replaced the metal arms with a chrome-plated plastic ball that rotated and pivoted as each lettered key was pressed.
The IBM Selectric came to my attention [again] because of a recent stay at The Domain in North Austin, Texas. Turns out, this typewriter was manufactured there.
Your best tips, starting and ending with any letter in the alphabet, are much appreciated!
