Topic: Erasing Techniques
Content:
- Erasing Techniques
Rubber Eraser
The traditional erasing method involved the use of a special typewriter eraser made of hard rubber that contained an abrasive material. Some were thin, flat disks, pink or gray, approximately 2 inches (51 mm) in diameter by ⅛ inch (3.2 mm) thick, with a brush attached from the center, while others looked like pink pencils, with a sharpenable eraser at the “lead” end and a stiff nylon brush at the other end. Either way, these tools made it possible erasure of individual typed letters. Business letters were typed on heavyweight, high-rag-content bond paper, not merely to provide a luxurious appearance, but also to stand up to erasure.
Typewriter eraser brushes were necessary for clearing eraser crumbs and paper dust, and using the brush properly was an important element of typewriting skill; if erasure detritus fell into the typewriter, a small buildup could cause the typebars to jam in their narrow supporting grooves.

Week 3
Topic: Memorandum
Memorandum sheets are used for internal communication between members of the same organization/office. The sheets can be in A4, A5, Quarto, or foolscap size. The size used depends on the length of the work to be typed. Memorandum is usually printed at the top of the page. Spaces are provided for the sender’s and recipient’s names and designation. There is no salutation or complimentary closure of the memo. Subject heading(s) and reference number and date may be typed.
The tone of memos usually is informal and friendly. Although you don’t need to be curt, officious, or patronizing, a certain succinctness is acceptable. Structure the memo so that the most important information comes in the first paragraph and those subsequent paragraphs spell out what’s discussed in the first paragraph.

Week 4
Topic: Business Letter
A business letter is usually a letter from one company to another, or between such organizations and their customers, clients and other external parties. The overall style of the letter depends on the relationship between the parties concerned. Business letters can have many types of contents, for example, to request direct information or action from another party, to order supplies from a supplier, to point out a mistake by the letter’s recipient, to reply directly to a request, to apologize for a wrong, or to convey goodwill. A business letter is sometimes useful because it produces a permanent written record, and may be taken more seriously by the recipient than other forms of communication.

Week 5
Topic: Business BUSINESS LETTERS WITH SUBJECT HEADINGS
If a letter has a subject heading, it must be underscored. Subject headings are written according to the style/form of the business letter. for example, in a fully-blocked letter, the subject heading will start at the left-hand margin like all other lines and will be underscored. In semi-blocked letters, it will be in the in the middle of the letter, and so on.

Week 6
Topic: Simple Tabulation
Tabulated work is made more effective by ruling lines either horizontally or vertically. If it is only horizontally lines that are to be ruled, underscore and let the line project at least two spaces beyond the margins that have been set on both sides. You must always turn up one single-line space before a horizontal underscore and two single-line spaces after. If, on the other hand, both horizontal and vertical lines are to be used, you will either underscore, in which case the paper will have to be removed from the machine after the table has been typed and re-inserted sideways to rule the vertical lines, or after typing the horizontal lines by underscoring the vertical lines with ink.
