Description:
I could describe this machine as something less than flattering but I should choose not to. This particular behemoth weighs more than it ought to, chugs along at a pace slower than it ought to, and is generally mediocre in most respects.
However, if you look at it like the Twilight Zone version of a Royal it is a smooth machine that seems to emulate Royal standards without somehow managing to capture what made the Royal typewriter great.
It is large, green and has ostentatiously long carriage and will eat whatever you feed it. This one is missing it's badge on the paper-table as many seem to. Generally speaking, I am kind of at a loss for words describing it. Not in a good way.
