I'd LOVE to have a go on that typewriter! I wonder how it would feel after all these years of getting used to a computer keyboard and how sensitive the keys are. Would the keys of such a typewriter feel 'clunky' by today's standards?

Yoou better believe it, olliebeak! I havea an old one - electric, even - and it feels like I need a hammer on the keys.

Interesting JAMP! My mother also had to quit teaching when she married in 1939. As I was her 7th and last child, our typewriter was a bit newer than this one. Isn't the ribbon installed wrong on this one - looks twisted on the left?

Good eye! It is indeed twisted. I think it is seated correctly, it just needs to be removed, untwisted and replaced.

WOW that makes me feel old - I learned to type on a typewriter similar to this one.

Good night and God bless. Hugs.

Yup, I've typed on one like that, too.

Fortunately the typewriter at my first job was an IBM Selectric with the "golf ball" type head. It was wonderful after having used manual ones all through school.

This was a fun puzzle.

When I lived over your way Karen I worked for the Shell Laboratories in Houston for 18 months first in the typing pool then was trained to use an MTST (Magntic Tape Selectric Typewriter) and these were the forerunners of today's word processors. Loved my work there. Hugs.

The very same typewriter that I took my typing test on at age 17. We've come a long way baby.
