Description:
with one-piece case and literature. The belt on this electric machine had disintegrated so I made a replacement drive belt from a 19 x 3.5 inch motorcycle inner tube, 3/8 wide, and it works fine now.

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