1968 Royal 440 Serial # 11-9031158 1968 Royal 440 typewriter, Serial # 11-9031158 Rolf Boone's 1968 Royal 440 typewriter. 2021-09-21 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Rolf Boone: 1968 Royal 440 Serial # 11-9031158 Big Blue: A Royal 440 with a 6-characters per inch typeface. One challenge: it has a super finicky line lock mechanism. That thin plate underneath the typewriter refuses to hold its position. Any thoughts out there on how best to stabilize it?

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 440 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 440 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
