Description:

Feature rich is an understatement. Is it the best office standard ever produced? It would be hard to argue otherwise. This is a 12 in platen and you could get one with a 9, 12, 13, 15, 18, 24 or 35 inch. Two lever swap out and so why not have more than one in the box? 1/2 line spacing with paper injector note the bar tabulator in the owner's manual controls diagram. Most contemporary newspaper typewriter ads feature some pricing. This one is hard to come up with, so I'd suggest it was a "get them in the door for a demo before you mention the price."

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
