typewriters which have the ability to record into a small working memory the escapement of the characters which are keyed at the keyboard it is many times advantageous to be able to reposition the carrier at the rightmost end of the typed material automatically this is particularly advantageous when it has been necessary to back the carrier up along the printed line for purposes of erasing correcting or inserting material into that line disclosed herein is an electronic typewriter which is controlled by the electronic logic such that the depression of a selected control key will result in the carrier moving from a position within the typed text on a particular line to the right most position the carrier has occupied within that line during earlier typing this is accomplished by temporarily storing the rightmost carrier position as recorded in the escapement register into a working memory and then upon the appropriate command from the keyboard using that location in the manner that a tab stop location would be used and creating a tab like command movement to cause the carrier to go directly to that point and stop application_number US 90832478 A description for purposes of this discussion and disclosure it is assumed that the typewriter or printer 10 is in operation that typing has occured in a normal and conventional manner and that the characters as they are typed are stored into a line memory 34 which upon a carrier return is cleared to provide the capability to store characters from the next line the operator from time to time may desire to make corrections in the text typed in that particular print line which are displaced from the print point by more than one character position when this occurs.
