1954 Torpedo 18 Serial # 714697 1954 Torpedo 18 typewriter, Serial # 714697 Mike Green's 1954 Torpedo 18 typewriter. 2022-05-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mike Green: 1954 Torpedo 18 Serial # 714697 It's a beauty. Great typer with segment shift. It's a qwertz keyboard so I either get used to it or just make a mental note that my Z mis-types are actually Ys and all typewriter documents are creative drafts anyway. The platen is as hard as they come, so maybe a new cover someday.
