Typing Tips
The booklet
Centerfold
Noiseless Carbon Paper
I have noticed if I can maintain a pressure and rythm that is different than I use on the other machines the a on the Noiseless does not leave a space. Lighter touch and good rythm. Now I must practice.
I like the graphic design of the cover. nice find! My Lettera 22 skipped badly until it was adjusted to advance when the typebar was a bit further back. Like you, I *could* keep it from skipping with luck and perfect striking, but it was very difficult. Now it's perfect.
Cameron, I agree. I do not like terms that insult any one or nationality or otherwise. That is why I did not post the stories although the one about the steering wheel would be fine if I decided to do it. I believe deleting it from the cover though would have detracted from the original.
Interesting. The whole thing is very special, with stories about cars and then a carbon paper article, all printed by Smith-Corona.

Thanks for sharing this slice of history.
ReplyDeleteThe term "Japs" was so often used in WWII. It was the time. Shameful, but we moved on.
