Section 122 in Bihar Board's Miscellaneous Rules, 1958
122. Care of typewriting machines.
- In many offices typewriting machines are not kept in proper order with the result that the machines wear out much sooner than they ought to. The attention of clerks in charge of typewriter should be called to the following instructions :-(a)Each machine must be thoroughly tested every morning before the work commences;(b)The rods on which the carriage runs should be cleaned with a slightly oiled cloth;(c)Nothing but the typewriter oil provided for the purpose should be used (thick oil clogs the working parts of the machine);(d)All types must be cleaned each morning, especially, the letters a, e, o, b, c, g, p and q;(e)The "full stop" and "comma" are sharp pointed characters and should, therefore, be hit lightly when typing;(f)The wheels on which the carriage runs should oiled once a week;(g)Never try to re-ink a ribbon worn out, get a new one. A ribbon should last 3, and a pad 12 months at least;(h)When requiring to raise the carriage, raise with the left hand "Carriage lift". This should not be done more than necessary; it wastes time.The above work will take five minutes, and should be carried out every morning before commencing work, except where otherwise provided. Failure to carry out these instructions should be treated as disobedience of orders. A copy of these instructions should be affixed to a file-board and kept hung up near each machine in use.
