Description:
This is a relabeled Smith-Corona Speedliner typewriter roughly equivelant to a 1949 Sterling. It types decently, carriage is a bit stiff. A few keys on the left hit the ribbon cover. I don't like it enough to use it. It is elite, I'm not a fan of elite, too small.

I started with 2 Monroe calculating machines then in January 2023 I used my Christmas money to buy a 1936 L.C. Smith and Corona, Corona Standard portable. Since then have acquired more typewriters. Also have 2 Engineers Transits (surveying instruments), a K+E Foresters staff compass, and 4 slide rules. Typewriters as a hobby has been more affordable than antique surveying instruments anre and they are easier to obtain.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Tower Commander on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Tower Serial Number page and the Tower Commander By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
