Description:
Great little typewriter with a soft touch and light carriage shift. I prefer this early 1960s model over previous iterations that don't feature a ribbon selector. My only gripe is with the Baby is the puny carriage return lever, which is not very practical. This particular model has a Swiss keyboard. I'm used to German keyboards, so I was surprised to see that there's no way of writing capitalized versions of the umlauted letters "ü", "ö", or "ä".
