Didn't offices in that era have an area called a "typing pool" to confine the noise to a dedicated area to keep common areas quieter?

- Ensorceled 7y agoTwo of my work places did. Others just had a layout where the people who typed were kept away from other employees, like small set of typing cubicles in the open area surrounded by offices or cubicles at the far end of the open area with an open space between typists and others. One of my workplaces was a mainframe shop, some of the older devs still programmed their cobol/fortran iv code on sheets and took it to the data entry pool in another wing for input.
