Fir3Chi3f: Fix the wheelwriter description which was just a duplicate of the III section

Most well known for the creation of the Selectric series of typewriters IBM made machines before and after for using in businesses and government organizations.

! Name !! Date Range !! Description and Rarity !! -
|-
| [[IBM Selectric|Selectric (I)]] || 1961 - || The first "Golfball" typewriter to set the standard for swappable fonts
|-
| [[Selectric II]] || 1971 - || Much larger, but far more prolific than it's predecessor.
|-
| [[Selectric III]] || 1980 - || More cost conscious and generally worse than it's predecessor. This short-lived iteration was not loved by those who used or supported these machines.
|-
| [[Electronic Typewriter]] || 1980 - || Made to compete with the smarter offerings from IBM's competitors. This machine did not last long as it was based around the Selectric III and quickly replaced by the Wheelwriter.
|-
| [[Wheelwriter]] || 1984 - || No more golf ball instead a type-wheel and some actual signs of intelligence.
