What working kit (machine, paper, ribbon, carbons, stamp, clip) did a 1916 US photoplay writer need before sending a script out, and what reason did Sargent give for each item?
In Chapter LXIV Sargent lists a typewriter as the first essential, a pica machine with an unshaded type face and a black record ribbon, white 20 lb bond (8.5 x 11) for the sheets sent out, coloured second sheets and heavy carbon paper, a name-and-address rubber stamp, one brass Niagara clip, and 'a plot book' and 'a manuscript record'. He gives a reason for most items (acceptance, legibility, carbon quality, editor handling). The list is a 1916 trade-manual recommendation, not a measured or surveyed standard.
