I live in San Francisco where I do scientific research and collect old typewriter (both English and Russian). My current favorite is a 1950's Smith-Corona Skyriter. Ask me again tomorrow and I will have a different answer.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Silent By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
