Our Dept. has 15 technical writers, and 1 full time editor, and 2 illustrators.
Each writer performs the tasks of word processing, and proofreader, and some
basic illustration tasks.
At one time we had 40 technical writers, 1 editor, 6 illustrators, 1
proofreader, and five word processors. So goes the technology advancement in
word processing.
