The Typist's Reading

Tape, Typescript and Copy-Text in a Survey's Dictated Drill-Core Logs, 1977–1994

A research poster from the School of Underlying Conditions collates 214 dictation cassettes against 1,846 typescript pages of a regional survey's drill-core logs and finds 611 technical emendations by the typing pool, rising with each typist's years of service. Where retained core allows a check it upholds the typescript at 121 of 148 places, and the poster proposes the typescript as copy-text, with the dictated readings in the apparatus.
