Description:
This is one of the two typewriter I use everyday to earn my living (the second is by his side and is an Adler Universal with 26" carriage and Elite 12p. font I use when I have to write on large format drawings) .
I write most of my creative stuff on a typewriter, followed by digital conversion if needed.
For the text to be scanned, it must be uniformly print; since I insist in writing with 10 fingers, an electro-mechanical machine is the best option.
I particularly like the Congress Pica font; I frequently use numbers, and those of this font are very special.
First SGE 35 in the Database, and one of the few SGE at all (what a pity, are really great machines...).

Of the typewriters I value more character than perfection, the signs that time has left and the stories - or fragments of stories - of those who used them ...
