I cannot understand what does "the first line does not actually type" mean? if you don't actually hit the keys, how can the machine calculate the exact spaces? If you actually hit the key, then you practically type every line twice. Then it is indeed a very inefficient process.

The first line does not actually type, but it lets the machine calculate how much space must be inserted between words when you actually type the words the second time. This is a slow process, but it works. I wonder how this device did the job.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
