Coronet was known for making documentary short films that were shown in public schools from the 1940s-1980s. This particular film was made in collaboration with educational consultant Lawrence W. Erickson Ed.D. Professor of Education at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education. Directed by Don B. Klugman, the film is centered around the story of a young typist, during her first typing exam for a job prospect, as she ponders how she did on the exam as well as what kind of typing jobs she will have. The film shows set ups from various commercial offices during the 1970s of female typists at work doing straight copy, statistics, calculations, and typing forms. The narrator adds extra details on the specific methodology to carrying out these different typing jobs. Opening credits: Smith Type Stop Clock face (0:10).
