Ah, takes me back to the bad ol' days of typewriters.
Remember back BEFORE Liquid Paper/Wite-Out and IBM Correcting Selectrics came along, they had these typewriter eraser gizmos? The eraser was flat like a silver dollar and rolled like a wheel, with a little brush attached at the "axle" to whisk away the leavings.
It was physically impossible to erase any typed letter without rubbing a hole in the paper, but it did get rid of the error.
Good times . . .
Yessir, I remember those days. I still believe those wheeled erasers were a Communist plot to sap our national will. And they did a pretty dang good job of doing it, too.
