3 Followers

Introduction: The following program is a training series on the IBM Selectric Typewriter. It was produced by Audio Visuals Universal in the 1970s, and is no longer available. Originally, the series was sold as sets of audio cassettes and 35mm color slides. After decaying for decades, the entire series was digitized for download online in 2008. Credit is due to the following persons: Peter Brun - Initially purchased the series on ebay and was kind enough to make copies for digitization. Additionally, he digitized the slides and augmented their information. Bill Hicks - Digitized the audio cassettes and posted the series online for download. Jim Bigwood, Audio Supervisor @ Maryland Public Television - Generously offered the use of his facilities to digitize the audio cassettes.
