Ten Common Pieces Of Office Equipment - 1960

Going to riff off this for a few lists... first one from just before I was born.

    1. Manual Typewriters

    Standard for creating all office documents.

    2. Rotary Dial Telephones

    Used for business communication.

    3. Mimeograph Machines

    For making copies of documents before photocopiers were widely available.

    4. File Cabinets

    Essential for storing and organizing paper documents.

    5. Mechanical Calculators

    Used for basic arithmetic, especially in finance.

    6. Carbon Paper

    For creating duplicate copies while typing.

    7. Dictaphones

    For recording spoken notes, typically on magnetic tapes.

    8. In/Out Trays

    Used for organizing physical mail and documents on desks.

    9. Bulletin Boards

    For posting memos, announcements, and schedules.

    10. Addressograph Machines

    Used for addressing envelopes and mailing labels.

    This setup was largely manual and paper-centric, emphasizing physical documentation and basic communication tools, long before the digital revolution.
