Description:
another yard sale find that I had to ask for, and this uncovered two of them. This one has a broken drawband but seems pretty good otherwise. It has a worm gear drive to tension the carriage return spring.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
