Mr. Archambault, a Hull, Que.,| shorthand reporter working for Hansard, the verbatim report of Commons debates, carried a small stenographic machine into the Commons, the first time such/ a device has been used on the Commons floor. Paul Frenette, editor of French debates, said Mr. Archambault was detailed to work in the Com- mons Tuesday because a large number of French speakers were expected. He said Mr. Archambault, who also is a qualified shorthand re- porter, would use the machine in| the Commons only Tuesday. | The machine measures nine by | seven by five inches. To report a| speaker's words, Mr. Archam-| bault rests the machine on his lap and punches keys that write| shorthand symbols on a paper) tape.
