Description:
This 1959 SM-3 with double gothic typeface was acquired as part of a lot of machines from a professor of the History of Science in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA in August, 2023. Once cleaned-up, it is pretty amazing. Though it took some adjusting to having to use an upper-case "I" rather than a lowercase "L" to make a number 1.
