Now this is what I call a professional proficient. Mr. Sax knows what he's doing. It's nice to see he had a fun personality too. Typing was and still is a good skill. And I suggested anybody who's really interested in being good at it, either on an actual typewriter. Or on your computer keyboard. Take a lesson, and it will help you out.

I learned to type on a manual. Never got the hang of electricssss... Dang. Did it again.

You should try a Brother electric typewritter. It’s perfection embodied in a light plastic body with many daisy wheels to choose!

As a freelance writer, this video has corrected my bad typing habits especially using fingertips instead of wrist or elbow action. Thanks a lot for this very informative video. It has taught me a lot and changed my life as I can now type almost like a robot. Thanks a lot.

Now that, my friends, is what you call skill. Awesome.

Typewriting is a valuable skill that its importance has been overlooked by many business firms who want to hire desk clerks and administrative assistants, as well as typists, or keyboard specialists. That is how many business firms hired poor workers who could not even do a job from scratch.

I like those typewriting tips. Mr. Sax did an outstanding job. The young ladies did fine.

Good Video to have for the new generation . . . . . .

Where on earth did you find this footage this thing must be older than my grandmamma: My God!

The instructor was a blasted robot. He talked like one and sure typed like one. Good video though!

Lmao “blasted”

Do they still have "Typing Pools"? Where I worked in the 1960's, all outgoing mail was hand written by clerks, checked by the Boss, and sent to the "Typing Pool" where each letter was randomly allocated to a typiste, who made an original (with addressed envelope) and one or two carbon copies for the record. All was sent back to the originator to check, then signed by the Boss. Back to the clerk to fold and insert into the envelope, then off to another secretary to put through a "Franking Machine" which imprinted a stamp to the correct postal charge, and accumulated all daily totals owed to the Post Office. Then an Administration clerk would take the day's mail in bulk to the Post Office for mailing. Job Done! No wonder all kids need a university degree these days, those simple jobs have been eliminated by computers.

I can safely say that there are no more typing pools like that. I love to show my friends the seminal film 'The Apartment' to show how big offices used to be, full of typists!

I worked in a small typing pool around 1999 in a council. They use computers but did have 1 back up electric typewriter for forms. If they do exist today it's most likely in councils.

Damn, I have that typewriter, S-C Secretarial. That guy’s hands must be beefy to type that fast on it!!

Superb Video that every beginner in Typewriting must watch..

Great lesson! So wonderful!

thanks for this amazing and informative video. thanks admin.

Training! According to Heidelberg the printing press manufacturing juggernaut, there is no other productive press operator than the American operator of their German presses. Not even the German operators. This video shows why. Perhaps also the tinkering personality of the American makes the difference.

Lovely video.

It depends a lot on condition. It seems like the portables are more desirable and therefore more costly. But the desktop models I see usually need work so they go for less. Any machine in top condition can bring good prices.

They often don't look at the keyboard or the paper as they type. 😉

Every office had a cacophony of typewriter thwacking like that in my childhood. Those typists were fast and accurate. Accuracy was important, fixing mistakes on multiple copies was time consuming.

This video was made to view on 2x speed.

Have a look at *The History Guy* on You Tube. His bow tie helps him not only with his typing, but to speed up his rate of speech! There's no doubt that a bow tie is your great little helper.

Love typewriters but was never taught how to type on them. This was very helpful. Although it's obnoxious how they had women pretend to be stupid so a man could correct them. Women always did most of the typing.

Many good tips, but this format of a man showing women where they were doing it wrong probably wouldn't fly today.
