'Comptometrist'
I have removed a link that went to Comptometer as that is a type of key-driven mechanical calculator. I believe that the meaning was that she was an operator of that type of machine. Can't find a reliable source to confirm though. This Key-Driven Calculators ("Comptometers") - Overview at "John Wolff's Web Museum" is the best I could find, with 2 mentions of "Comptometrist". There is also this at a career information site, with a related but somewhat different meaning. Wiktionary has no entry on the word. Can anyone help? - 220.101.30  talk \edits (aka 220.101) 08:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have restored the link to comptometer. The title of comptometrist used to exist in our language in through most of the 20th Century (1900-1970s) and generally referred to (women) operators who worked in administrative support roles translating handwritten data into a typewritten or electronic form. The State Library of South Australia has a good picture of comptometrists at work in Tubemakers of Australia administrative offices that can be found here. Whilst not a great resource, this link serves as a Dictionary of Old Occupations describing a comptometrist as a person who operated a mechanical calculator known as a comptometer. These devices were used from the late 19th century through to the 1970s when they were replaced by electronic calculators. Nile described this as her initial occupation (refer Maiden Speech halfway down page 2), so I feel worthy of inclusion and directly linking to comptometer.
