Ito . Elements The IBM Correcting "Selectric" III and the IBM "Selectric" III Typewriters incorporate interchangeable element technology for the greatest versatility and flexibility in typing. When changing typing applications, simply change the typing element. Notes • • Only elements with yellow labeling may be used on this typewriter. Using a typing element of one pitch when the typewriter is set for the other pitch will alter only the amount of space between each character On top of each element is the following: * The name of the type style in yellow (example, Courier 96). • A 10 A or 12 A indicating pitch. • The black element release lever (except on elements with a specially requested character which have a white lever). • A four- or five-digit identification number under the element release lever. The wide range of type styles available from IBM covers virtually every typing application, from general correspondence to specialized formats. You'll find one right for every typing job. You can even order type elements applicable to specific Industries and foreign languages --- with special characters, punctuation marks, and symbols. When using elements other than US correspondence elements on a standard 92-character US keyboard, some necessary characters may not print. Under these circumstances you need the 96-character US correspondence keyboard. If you don't find the typing elements lust right for you among the standard keyboard arrangements, see "Ordering Procedures."
