A memory typewriter is a typewriter that can hold a limited amount of memory, allowing for text and documents to be retained.[1][2] Memory typewriters helped reduce the amount of time needed for lawyers to revise documents.[3]
Memory typewriters were first introduced in the 1940s to create legal agreements with large amounts of repetitive text.[1] Memory typewriters peaked in popularity during the 1970s and are now considered obsolete.[2] However, there are still a small number of manufacturers that produce them.[2]
