Description:
Fantastic red "Self Starter" key. There are so many theories about this key. I agree with Mr.Richard Polt concept: "I think the concept of the self-starter is that the typewriter will start a paragraph "by itself" (if you push the key, that is!). Unlike a true tabulator, it advances the carriage 5 spaces forward from whatever your current position is·.(http://oztypewriter.blogspot.com.ar/2013/02/remington-5-red-keyed-self-starter.html)
