1952 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # AG -2526480 1952 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter, Serial # AG -2526480 Chris Aldrich's 1952 Royal Quiet De Luxe typewriter. 2024-10-21 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Chris Aldrich: 1952 Royal Quiet De Luxe Serial # AG -2526480 2024-09-22 I've had my eye out for one of the post-Dreyfuss Royal Quiet De Luxes for a bit. This one is in excellent condition though there's some heavy wear to the case and it has a few white out spills and needs to be flushed out. Hiding under the hood is an uncommon Vogue typeface. More updates and photos soon as I start in on the cleaning process.

Hello! I’m a Johns Hopkins trained biomedical and electrical engineer with a variety of interests in the entertainment industry, information theory, evolution, big history, genetics, signal processing, transgenetics, translational medicine, and theoretical mathematics. I’m a strong advocate of the IndieWeb movement.

I have a love for analog office equipment including library card catalogs and typewriters. As of Fall 2024, I've got a segment of 29 typewriters, mostly portable and manual models along with three Royal standards, a Remington Standard, and one SMC typebar electric. I have been learning how to completely overhaul all of the machines in my collection, all of which work well aside from one or two machines which need some parts. I have a burgeoning collection of typewriter tools for continually repairing, maintaining, and upgrading my machines.

I've got more than half a dozen card catalogs including a Gaylord Bros. and a Steelcase along with several Remington Rand and some Shaw-Walkers. I've lost count of my index card collection once I passed 10,000.
