- Description (Brief)
- One (1) IBM Selectric stroke counter
- Description: black painted with silver arm shaft and mounted to a metal plate with two screws. Made to work on an IBM Selectric typewriter. The cycle clutch of the typewriter was attached to the arm of the stroke counter, so each type the clutch moved, so did the arm. This caused the digits to advance. There are five separate digit wheels in the counter.
