Adler Vs. Smith-Corona Script Typeface


Adler.  Ransmayer Slugs.

Smith Corona Artisan 75 Slugs

These are slightly cleaner Adler slugs.

Smith Corona slugs.
They both are quite similar.  I do not know if Smith-Corona made their own slugs or used slugs made by an outside company.  The trademarks are not the same.
Both are elite.  Wish one was pica

Mark, Thanks for pointing out the similarity.

Smith-Corona Classic-12 Script Preview



After working in the yard Monday after dinner I decided to sit down with a Yuengling and relax, but a typewriter case sitting next to me kept calling.  So I picked it up, opened it and typed the above bit of nothingness.

I picked up this typewriter a few weeks ago and have yet to clean or do anything else with it.  I have others to post first, but somehow this one managed to bump its way up the posting priority list.

Seems to work fine except the lower part of the y and f are a bit faint.

More later.  I have a Royal Custom-III to finish, and Noiseless Model 7 and a Royal Crescent that all need cleaning first.

Sorry for the type / computer cast.  Wife's sleeping in the next room and I am too lazy to head to the garage to type.

Oh, Yuengling?  The oldest and largest brewery in the U.S.A. Surprising since I remember them as a small family owned and run brewery on the side of the hill on Mahantongo St in Pottsville, PA only about 1/2 hour drive from where I lived.
Problem in FL is the limited product, no Premium beer or Chesterfield Ale, only Lager.

21 Questions Part 1



As always I notice my mistakes after I scan and post.  I had the paper loaded slightly out of alignment.  I did not count my parts machines in question 2.  Presently I have 3 machines I use for parts and a few boxes of parts I managed to find.

Several others as well as myself have been having some dialog in one of the Yahoo! groups where I am seeking help on the serial numbers of this Classic-12 and my script Classic-12.  Except for no changeable type keys and red selector my script machine is a twin to this one.  I ran out of time to post as I intended.
I'll do that later when I post on the script one.

As witnessed by this post I never did replace the Classic-12.
