1958 Remington Travel-Riter DeLuxe Serial # 871793 1958 Remington Travel-Riter DeLuxe typewriter, Serial # 871793 Hein Reinders's 1958 Remington Travel-Riter DeLuxe typewriter. 2026-01-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Hein Reinders: 1958 Remington Travel-Riter DeLuxe Serial # 871793 Remington did built typewriters in the Netherlands from 1950 to 1981, first in Zeist, later in 's Hertogenbosch. This TRAVEL-RITER is from 1958 and there is no case or carrying bag with it. It has been cleaned, checked and adjusted. The rubber roller has been sanded round and the mechanism to choose the color of the ribbon has been repaired, see picture. Furthermore, nothing was and is wrong with this machine.
The keyboard is German and this Remington writes with a relatively large letter (PICA) of 3 mm. 10 characters fit on an inch (10 cpi), so about 70 to 80 on a line.
This machine is made entirely of metal. The mechanism is made of steel. The super strong frame is made of aluminum. The housing parts are also aluminum die-cast parts, made by injection molding company Bühler. This company now makes huge injection molding machines that cast large parts of the body of cars in one go under high pressure from molten aluminum. Too bad about the car, total loss after a collision.
This machine dates from the years before the red pencil, only the best was good enough. A flashy chrome name emblem, a machine for ladies and gentlemen.

The screws that hold the alu side walls to the frame are equal, except the two at the bottom front: the diameter of their heads is smaller that the other six. Don't ruin the thread in the aluminium!

The mechanism for choosing the ribbon colour. The wire hook on the right determines the bold to go up (black), be in the middle (void) or down (red). The flat steel push lever on the right actuates the hopper at any keystroke. The bolt jammed itself in the slot bcause the flat steel push lever on the right was bend. It bends under load, so if it jams, it jams more.

As a retired product development engineer, I am fascinated by the design of electro-mechanical products in which parts move, make noise and, preferably, radiate a little heat. Most preferred are products that are operated by keys, like typewriters, accordeons and pianos.
My genetics and statistics on lifetime expectancy suggest that it is time for me to let you know about the fantastic design, product engineering and manuacturing skills of the generation before mine. I salute mr. Munk for the opportunity that he has created for me to show it to the world. Okay, a bit bombastic.
