We’re doing ITAM again? Well, why didn’t you say so!
Here’s the machine that re-introduced me to the beauty of typewriters.
Pardon the late night Monday fatigue grammar and rambling.
And the odd side-step into bad poetry.
You know… Every time I write on this machine, I’m surprised by how well it works! Sure, it’s not a sexy Hermes super-model, and isn’t built for speed. But it is a great machine. It feels like an old workhorse, and I just…. love writing at it. I feel the writing.

“I feel the writing.” That's it exactly, Scott. Thanks. RN

You know, it has a surprisingly clean typeface. I haven't used this beasty in months, but I really enjoyed the impressions that it was leaving.

I can appreciate the aesthetics of a thing as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's nice to have an ugly machine that just does the job. Throws its usefulness into greater relief, says I.

Always good to read about the first one. Even more when it isn't a sexy super model!

Not sexy at all, but it gets the job done! I see this machine often in the wild and have been impressed at how well it starts the typebars swinging. I'm glad you enjoy it so much. Happy ITAM!

I agree. And in a way, industrial aesthetics are a beauty all of their own.

Happy ITAM to you, too! It is easy to appreciate these machines when you give them a bit of a run. Everyone should try one at least once!
