So you know when to slide it back
Back in the days where text processing was done straight on the media (paper in this case), there's no virtual guidelines pre-printed, so a "ding" sound has to be generated to warn typist that they are a few characters near the physical border of media.
In such case, if you're typing a super long words (no full justifications too), you know when to "dash-break" it, or where you would like to insert a "manual line break" by taping on the handle and pushing the barrel all the way left (left justification and no-auto line-breaks is by default the one and only option).
