I picked up a couple of typewriters for display and use for the public at events where a police station is set up. The few i have are all Imperial Good Companions. Learnt to type on a manual typewriter, then on an electric one while in comprehensive but have completly forgotten how to touch type. Although pecking at the keys is more in keeping with a station.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 42 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 42 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
