After scanning and posting I noticed a few more typos than I thought I made.
I also got the paper in my scanner a bit slanted.
This typecast is a bit different than most. I do not have any photos at this time.
I took the machine apart at work and typed the above at work and finished it under a shade tree sitting at a pick-nick table behind one of the gasoline stations on the way home from work.
Normally this is a nice quite place where I can read, write or relax. Not so with a typewriter. I caused a bit of interest from the owner and some of the customers when they saw some fellow sitting under the tree typing.
This particular machine caused quite a bit of interest also.
Which one did I use? I won't tell you. Take a guess.
I don't know which machine produced the typecast, but the typeface is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWas the typecast done on a Royal Signet?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Hermes project.
I can not identify the machine but it's an amazing typeface. I'm looking forward to find out wich typewriter produced it! and also some pictures of the Hermes.
ReplyDeleteI love this typeface!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a sort of uppercase italics :-)
First solo type-out? Now, caps AND italics? That's a pretty special typewriter, but not a clue.
ReplyDeleteI realized I should have titled this post:This is the Rounded Body Hermes 3000 Taken Apart as -- A Hermes 3000 Taken Apart Part 2
