Description:
Originally owned by a US Air Force officer and engineer who worked on the SR-71 engines. When I acquired the machine, it had a backing sheet of paper threaded up that was dated from 1971. Recently repaired by Bill Wahl/Mesa Typewriter Exchange. New rubber feet recently installed.
This machine is no longer in my collection.

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