Typewriters didn't have memory when I started :-)  You wouldn't believe some 
of the machines I worked with.  They looked like something out of a 1930s 
film.  London office got new typewriters and the existing ones rippled down 
the pecking order.  Anything left at the end came to Batley, and I was at the 
bottom of the pecking order there, too :-)
