Description:
Underwood Rhythm Touch typewriter spotted at the 2024 open house on Saturday September 7th 2024 of the National Research Association (NRA) Dominion Radio Observatory facility in Kaleden, British Columbia. I only recognized this as I've owned the same model. All 3 chrome pieces were intact (these are often missing), the decals were also intact, and the typewriter was functional and out for people to use.
