Description:
Its a great machine to type on surprisingly, even though it was made at the end of the typewriter era.
Something odd I found on this machine was a carriage shift, normally they had them on machines pre 40s or so, so for 1978 to have a carriage shifting typewriter is definitely odd, works well though.
Also I love this keyboard, it feels like a mechanical computer keyboard.
