JUNE ISSUE SEW IT SEAMS Page Three IBM “WONDER” MACHINE—Alma Paul of Hudson Division apparently gets along quite well with the new office machine installed at Hudson Office. A1 Bean also operates the machine. New Clerk At HudsonJIs Big Girl; But Nobody Minds; She’s So Smart! There’s a new “clerk” in the office at Hudson Division. And she weighs about 919 pounds. She also has quite a stenographer’s spread. In places she measures 28 inches across. But don’t get alarmed; they aren’t hiring some new kind of giant creature from Mars to help with the work at Hudson.

With the new machine, called the IBM Cardatype Accounting Machine, wasteful copying is done away with. Operations that involve several departments of office or plant now may be done at a centralized point. Futher- more, according to IBM, an entire set of related forms, tickets and documents needed are produced simultaneously by one Cardatype quired before to prepare one of the forms. IBM says the Cardatype is sur prisingly uncomplicated in ap pearance and easy to operate. The basi: machine has three units: an IBM Electric Typewriter, an auxiliary numerical keyboard and IBM equipment for reading punched cards and automatically controlling the entire Cardatype operation according to a preset program. Three more connected unattended typewriters may be installed beside the Cardatype for the production of related forms such as shipping tags or stock selection tickets.
