Description:
Since these are rising in interest, I bought this one. Now we just need to find some operators’ manuals for these electronic devices so we know how to work them. E.g., this one has a “1-line self automatic correction” feature---huh? Well, maybe we don’t need a manual for an automatic self-initiated function, but I doubt it.
It’s very light and in addition to the included power supply, it runs on four D-size batteries.

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.
