Description:
This little Royalite sports a fancy book-ish typeface.
One flaw I've noticed in the Royalite design is that the mechanism is connected to the shell by way of screws that pass through rubber feet/grommets of a particular shape. When that rubber disintegrates, the connection gets loose. I had to replace the rubber and this required some creative experimentation.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Royalite on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Royalite By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
