IBM's Magnetic Tape/Selectric

IBM introduces the Magnetic Tape/Selectric Typewriter in 1964. The MT/ST combines the features of the Selectric Typewriter with a magnetic tape drive.

On the tape, information can be stored, replayed, corrected and reprinted as many times as needed, and then erased and reused for other projects.
