OFFICE MACHINES MARCELLA P. HILL, Instructor CHARLES M. JOCHEM, Superintendent Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf West Trenton, New Jersey Vocational-Technical Curriculum Laboratory Rutge r s The State Unive r sity 10 Seminary Place New Brunswick, New Jersey JANUARY, 1967 ....P.Vs.../01/1.0.11.1/140.10.1101.0.01* moaga...erosamatiwo, TO THE TEACHER This book has been compiled fouse in both individual and class projects.Some of the lessonsare arranged so that class participa- tion is divided, with twoor three students ta.king part in each step of the learningprocess. Thewriter feels that this material should be only a small per- centage of the overall teaching plan.To be effective, it must be combined with a great many demonstrations, projectuals, and field trips. There are two purposes of this book: to give the students a bird's-eye view of the variety of positions held by clerical workers, many of which will be within their capabilities, and also to give them an idea of the machine skills, knowledge, and the attitude that will be expected of them forany given position in business. 3 The informal injection of thought questions is effective in en- couraging oral participation by the student.The vocabulary lists which are includedare meant to be used as a basis for dictionary work. It should be understood that the individual units may be taught in any sequence.The operation of the machines studied will have to be done on a flexible rotation plan.No order of rotation is suggested, except the following: The mimeograph and the spirit duplicator before the Verifax photocopier. The full-keyboard adding machine first, followed by the 10-key adding machine, then the calculators. Work on the posting machine should be preceded by the study and understanding of banking practices in the General Businesscourse. These units are intended tocover the Office Practice work for two years, classes held one and one-half hours daily, five days a week. However, the theory workon all machines should be completed before the end of the jun..oryear, This theory work will have to be supplemented with studies on the Office and its departments, and an intensive study of AMOMPmMMOsiwywomalmwm...elow. filing.We feel it is wise to introduce these related subjects as soon as possible, in view of the probability that the students will find summer employment after their junior year.For this same reason, it should be possible to expose each student to each machine before the junior year is completed.At the beginning of the senior year, those studentswho did not complete the project on any machine would be expected to do so. Included in this course on machine projects is supplemental work requested by the school staff.It is preferable that this work beaccepted only insofar as it is varied and has instructional value.It is also im- portant that the work be accepted with liberal deadlines forcompletion. I have included in this manual an achievement test and avocabulary list following each unit, with a compilation of both at the back of thebook. I want to express my thanks to Mr. Joseph Squitierri,who is presently an art school student, for helping me so skillfully withsketches as they were needed. Recognition is a,1so given to all the office-machine manufacturers and the retail stores that I contacted and found so generous with material and illustrations for use in this text.Recognition is given in courtesy lines throughout the publication as the visuals are used. Finally, I want to state my belief in the necessity of giving the students an understanding of the fundamentals of bookkeeping,banking, billing, letter forms, and the use of data that necessitate the specific operation of any machine they may be called upon to use.Inasmuch as we are helping our students prepare for lifetime careersin business - which involve adaptation, change, promotions, and new responsibilities, as well as the actual skill and techniquesof office-machine operation - teaching them mechanical skills only would be to fail in ourobligations both to them and to the field of business.
