After looking around IBM's site to get the Selectric photo, I've found this:

The ad about the electric typewriter is charming, but the typist cought my attention (a profession that I would like to see back). And NOT because she is a pretty and elegant woman. But because she typed 140 five-stroke words per minute!! And this for a whole hour!! This is unbelieveable!
