Hi Jim,

I found a post of yours to the cctech mailing list, stating that you have an
IBM Selectric Manual. I was wondering if you could help me at all.

I have one of the original 1960 IBM Selectrics, but the carriage (I think
that's what it's called - the mechanism with the typing ball) stops at the
tab position. When I hit return it moves to the farthest left position, but
it will only move five spaces before stopping. After that it will only type
in the same place until I hit return again.

My husband seems to remember from his high school typing class, a three key
combination that will "unlock" it from this position.

Any ideas or advice you may have would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!
