Description:
Square. Angular. Like typing on a rather precise tin roof, the Leader was perhaps the Leader in most inexpensive typewriter for the early fifties. It lack a right margin and bell. And soundproofing. And while it is as spartan as a portable has a right be in the post war, it is also functional in a minimalist kind of way.
