It is used to correct typing errors made when using a typewriter. When inserted between the paper and the typebar, and the ribbon select switched to stencil, i.e. inking turned off, the impression of the typebar presses the shape of the character into the film, which prints the white correction material onto the paper, hiding the erroneous character and preparing the document for the correct character. |
