    The type ball for a typewriter. [Can't think of the proper terminology right at the moment. But that ball replaces all the individual keys that typewriters used to have.]

    Yep, for the IBM Selectric. Marianne even had one at home before she got her computer. She had a whole set of balls with different fonts.
