Thank you all!
Your effort is much appreciated! She was a typist, stenographer. Any idea what his occupation was? Svein |

A typist stenographer was a typist who could transcribe shorthand. More commonly known as a shorthand typist and once a very common occupation for females. Almost extinct now.

I have realised that my post about stenographers is an over simplification really. I had forgotten that a stenograph machine is a kind of typewriter which produces shorthand which is later typed up into normal script.
Shorthand (the manually drawn sort)would normally be used in an office environment for taking dictation. Stenographers would work in say, a courtroom, recording everything that was said by various parties rather than taking one to one dictation. Prompted by a programme I have just watched, the thought entered my head that this lady may have worked in some sort of secret capacity but that may just be my over active imagination! OC |
