The Boss Is Going To Look Silly Hugging His New Addressograph
New York. (UP)-Stengraphers, clerks, private secretaries:
Run for your jobs. The machines are taking over.
The National Business show, now being held at Manhattan's Grand Central palace, has just removed the wraps from five years of mechanical progress. Here's part of the story:
An addressgraph that starts out with a roll of blank paper, and ends up with your public utilities bill printed in three colors and on both sides of the paper.
A typewriter that writes in any language, even Chinese. If you're writing in English and wish to switch to French, or Spanish, you push a button. A cylinder peps up, and you change the type-band and return to action within a matter of seconds.
All that you need to do is pay up when you receive it.
A radio typewriter that takes down messages, letters, or news stories from all over the world at 100 words a minute, or 6,000 words an hour.
The machine cuts the paper to the proper size, punches holes for binding.
Then there's the sound scriber,
new-type dictaphone that looks like
a small radio-phonograph. The records are flat and round, like those of a domestic victrola, and made of unbreakable vynilite. You can bounce them on the floor, file them
Geologists Don't Worry About Housing Shortage
The nation-wide housing shortage means nothing to the resourceful members of the Geology club, an organization of geology majors and other fervid rock-hunters. They'll leave on their field trips with 100 sleeping bags packed away in the back end of the bus.
The sleeping bags were purchased last spring and tried out this summer on a field trip to Fairbanks, Alaska. They will be issued, two to each person for added warmth, to members of the club for the field trip Saturday and Sunday.
About 36 persons will make the trip, which will center around Booneville, Mo. Applications will be received and final plans discussed at the first meeting of the club Thursday.
away, or mail them.
"They never lose their punch," the demonstrator said. "They catch every inflection of your voice and keep it. You can give a man hell who is 3,000 miles away, and he'll really feel it."
The auto-typist on the other hand is a two-faced machine designed to give you the feeling that an executive is writing you a personal letter while the truth is that he probably doesn't even remember you.
If the executive wants to ask you about your maiden aunt, or about the condition of your liver, he just tells his stenographer to punch buttons no. 10 and no. 7, covering these subjects, and the machine does the asking.
Most of the time the secretary probably doesn't even know what paragraph she's punching. In 20 minutes, she can do an entire day's work, as far as writing letters is concerned.
