Yes, that is the one.  Selectric rings a bell.  We used those in my high
school typing class, then later in a couple of offices I worked in.  At the
last office that had them, when they started surplusing them all I managed
to hoard one away.  Kept it at a desk in a storage area.  We still had a
lot of paper forms back then and it was a lot easier (and legible!) to type
them up.
