My boss right or wrong

When I saw the name Remington Rand attached to this explanation of how to be a Super Secretary, I was wondering what the Rand think tank was doing in the 1950s producing such a piece of sexist claptrap. Then I realized that it wasn't the think tank that made this. It was a typewriter manufacturer.

I'll have to ask my mom if this was how things were when she was a secretary in the early 60s, and if anything's changed....

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio

There used to be a cat
