Maybe if there's a repair manual for the typewriter it would have the part/term listed there?  I'm not sure without picture and Phil sounds like he has a good technical term but most flexible cables I've just heard called ribbon cables. But I'm probably lumping all flat cables into the same category as a floppy drive/ide type cable.
