Chef, Records Manageront Staff on 3 April 1957 stated
the follov.ngz
"Investigation and discussion with the suggester revealed
that this skidding was caused by the slipping of typevrxdter
pads on which the typewriters rested? Aaoordingly# this
Staff asked the suggoster and a Building Supply Officer to
test the effects of glueiaag pads to the boxes ziti$a a few
spots of rubber cement, Both found that this prevented the
pads and hence the typevrriterss from sUppi..ngd
"It is therefore recommended that this corrective measure
be publicized in the office of Logistics Supply Bulletin and
through Building Supply Officers. C r tingeut upon this publt.
city we rocaornnsend that the suggoster be granted a mi nia2a
award for pointing up this problem and working with us on a
solution,"

U, Evaluation of the Concerned Offices:
Chiefq Records Management Staff on 9 April 1957 stated
the fol1cwiv9u
"From a representative sa sling of opinions we estimate
that about 25% of headquarters typists prefer to correct car-
bon copies with a softer eraser than that used on originalsa
TUB poll therefore substantiates the suggestergs r a,-
t:ion for a combination ink and pen typewriter eraser with
brush,
"This Staffs howevers does not concur in the eraser
designed by the suggestero We recommend, insteadd the use of
an eerser presently stocked by the Federal Supply Service,, but
not presently used by CIA. 1h t eraser is described as follows
on page 108 of the Stores Stock Catalogs
Three-ply octagonal or hexagonal typewriter with
brush, Middle layer of abrasive rubber for eraeft
i typed copy; and two outer layors for erasing
carbons. Stock no. 7510-286.61.670
e therefore recointnend that this eraser be stocked in
lieu of the wbee ype abrasive eraser (Stock No 7510162.
4024) now available in the Agency supply room0 Contingent
upon this action we recommend that the suggester be gxanbed
a $15000 award for pointing up the need for this type of
eraser."
