49. The USAF was using IBM selectrics by 1969

Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 08:34 AM by LynnTheDem

The Air Force was using testing this model in April 1969 according to their own information.

"690400
A Service Test was completed for the International Business Machines (IBM) "Selectric" typewriter and Magnetic Tape "Selectric" Composer."
