Typewriting champion, Norman Saksvig, and two of his girl students demonstrate common typing mistakes, including bad habits sometimes acquired at school. First, the faulty technique is shown, then in each case correct methods. Close-ups and slow motion studies accent the instruction. No other credits available.
