My grand-father was working at Paillard Hermes from 1923 to 1963, designing tools and manufacturing process. A few years ago, I re-discovered a typewriter from my family, and started to use it to write when I need to be disconnected from distrations. Then I started to collect a few typewriters to find the best possible one for my use.
