Very well captured. The film leaves me with the impression of a certain contrast between the modernity of the machine and the very old-style film technique - washed-out black & white plus the inevitable orchestra music in the background.

You can type real fast, produce sharp impressions, use multiple typefonts on the same document without taking the paper sheet to another machine, and all this years before the microprocessor was invented - all the logical decision-making process is entirely mechanical.
