[QUOTE="Capetowntracks, post: 787050, member: 13924"] Vivid (!) memories of the Chief Sub marching around the newsroom at deadline, ripping copy paper out of our typewriters as we tried to squeeze in a last few syllables for tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper. On the shelf behind me right now is the company's last remaining machine ("Dates back to Rhodesia days, y'know"), a Remington Quiet-Riter - complete with case - just like the one I learnt to touch-type on at home. My favourite was my Underwood Touchmaster, nicely run in by probably a decade of court reports and Page 3 Girl captions by the time I inherited it. 0-100 in a minute, easy as. [/QUOTE]
