Searching for an idea to increase these letters without increasing the number of original keys, which are 64 keys on the perforator machine (and some keys have two letters on them) and 90 keys on the adding machine.

The first thing that came to mind was to cancel some of the compound letters that the work does not need much, namely: yin,, yar... This is because these two compound letters exist independently, that is. Y, N - Y, R... These two letters were abolished and the letters ⬛, ⚫ were placed in their place on the boards of the adding machine and the punching machine. After that, there were no additional letters that could be dispensed with, so thinking turned to another method of adding the rest of the letters (which is the reduction method). It is known that Each meter has the same letter on it twice: once in white font and once in black font, such as n, n, and they are usually on top of each other:

From here came the new idea, and the experts wondered: What is the reason for having the dot twice on the same barricade: once in white and once in black? Why not put one dot of medium white or medium black, and use the place of the other dot by placing another letter, such as an exclamation mark, provided that it is also medium black or medium white?

Medium>white>
Medium ← Black ←

The search began for the rest of the letters that could be replaced, and we found: the comma letter, the colon letter, and the question letter? The white square mark between one word and the other is EM, and thus 4 new letters can be added:

This is what was agreed upon with Intertype Company. This modification raised production by about 15%, but research has shown that production can be raised by about 200% if modifications are made to the Linotype company's Electron collecting machine, and production is raised by about 100% if other modifications are made to the perforator machine, provided that the tape passes (in the interwriting phase). On the perforator and collecting lead) on an electronic brain called Justape. The benefit of the presence of this intermediary (electronic brain) manufactured by the Linotype Company is that it helps in shortening the letters of the perforator from 90 letters to 60 letters, along with 15 operation keys. This made it possible to add the missing letters without increasing the number. Keys.

The shorthand perforator keyboard, and it is noted that there is only one letter of each type of letter of the alphabet. How is this possible? We pause here for a moment to explain the structure of the Arabic letters and their problems so that we can understand the shortening process that took place on the perforator panel. The problem with the Arabic letters is that they are connected and not separate like the Latin letters.
