For even more thread drift:
I was on a BoI which had to take evidence from a number of civilian witnesses. The Chairman requested a stenographer; command said no, none available.
He asked for a shorthand typist; command said no, none available but they could let him have a "speed writer"; a Sgt Clk Admin, who could apparently write stuff extremely quickly.
On the first morning we took evidence from 3 civilian witnesses and during our lunch break the Chairman asked Sgt **** to read back their evidence. The Sgt became rather red faced because it turned out he couldn't read his own writing; he had written it too quickly!
We had to make alternative arrangements and Sgt **** was rtb.
