These taller spool spindles were extended to hold the new ribbon covers, as seen in the next pic.... Earlier Model 5s had spindles about even with the top of the spools.

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.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Model 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Model 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
