There are few positions available with 24 girls on typewriters. Perhaps the set of mad men?

Have not heard from any one this week, this position still open? Am I still
a viable candidate or should I believe the position has been filled?

I used an old Underwood manual typewriter when I was growing up.

They were still using manual typewriters in high school when I took typing.
There were two or three electrics available, but those were used by girls
who expected to be secretaries for the rest of their lives.  I was only
allowed to look at them.  It was one of the most valuable classes I took.
And no that wasn't because there were 24 girls and me in the class.

Yes, I am. I'm and old guy too.

I learned to type on a Royal manual typewriter in the early 80's and used to
put two spaces after a period. I got over that, though.
