Typing Class, circa 1975, photo 7

This image shows a woman being filmed typing on a Gregg/Kee Simulator typewriter Model 40-72 for a typing class in the Department of Business Education and Office Administration in the College of Business at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in the early 1970s. The simulator typewriter was designed for teaching touch typing, including a key display above the board that indicated the next key for the user to use, as determined by the accompanying computer program. The College of Business was established in 1970-71 with four distinct departments, including accounting, business administration, business, economic and occupational education, and economics. It occupied Smith-Wright Hall, built 1940, from 1970 to 1976, when John A. Walker Hall, built 1975, was opened.
