Description:
From an online vintage store, the only typewriter listed. When I noticed the carriage measurement markings only went to 50, I suspect a large CPI even though there was no typeface sample in the listing. It arrived and needs some dusting and a ribbon, but WOW look at how large it types compared to pica! Maybe No. 29 Speech-Riter? Comments appreciated.
