Description:
This is based on that late Smith Corona development, the Coronamatic ribbon cartridge. It was a good idea that worked well. The field hallmark of these cartridge machines is the squared-off typebar well. They are all electrics.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
