Any expense necessarily incurred by the clerk of the Superior Court in preparing copies of the files and records for transmittal to the Supreme Court or Appellate Court in any case appealed or on a writ of error from the Superior Court to the Supreme Court shall, when approved by the court, be taxed and paid in the same manner as other court expenses. The judges of the Supreme Court or the Appellate Court, as the case may be, may provide by rule that files and records in appeals or on writs of error be typewritten in appropriate cases.
