[LM_NET] IBM typewriter platen with metal slot which holds catalog card

[Nancy Hall <nphhall@AOL.COM>]

Does anyone still type catalog cards using an old IBM typewriter? I have a card 
platen which has a metal strip in the roller, approximately 13" long. The catalog 
card fits under the edge of the metal strip making it easier to type near the top 
of the card. I'm sorry I don't remember the model of the IBM but I used it in the 
70's, 80's and 90's before we automated. The total length of the platen is 18 9/16" 
including the knobs. I would love to find a home for this platen. I retired five 
years ago and my former job has just been eliminated. The person who replaced me 
asked me what on earth to do with the platen and I volunteered to put a query on 
LM-Net.







I can send pictures and am willing to ship this if someone can use it.
