Okay, this must be the most bad-ass typist ever. Her name is Lenore Fention. The deadpan ending of this made me laugh out loud. (This is from a 1943 U.S. Navy training video.)pic.twitter.com/FH5yZROa4g

Choice quotes from Lenore: “How you type is more important than what you type.” and “Don’t fight your typewriter, you can’t win. Don’t blame your typewriter, BLAME YOURSELF.”

I was surprised that the typewriter could handle 180 WPM without getting jammed.

Me too, to be honest. It’s one of the early electric typewriters; I didn’t expect them to be as good already. I bet a lot of that 180 was her adjusting to the machine still, not the other way around.
