My father, an attorney, made extensive use of the magcard selectric. He did wills and trusts which required revision based on client feedback or life changes. The ability to edit the document from a saved copy was revolutionary in the early 70's. It also supported stop codes so that the system would print, stop, allow for manual entry of a name or other text, and continue. The client would receive a correction free typed document (no whiteout). All these capabilities are normal after the advent of Wordstar, WordPerfect, Word and others. Having typed school papers on this system helped me understand computers early on.
