In college, for a while, I did some temp work
keypunching. I was not a
fast typist, but I managed to outperform many of the other keypunchers
simply becaause the first thing that I did was to look at the card
format, and punch a drum card. For some reason many keypunchers think
that drum cards are too technical for them to do!
One of the things from high school that has proved to be of immense
value was the summer I took a typing class. Legendless keys Underwood
standard office typewriter.
