No. 19 - Typewrtier of the Day - Smith Corona Super 1957

No 19 TOTD Smith Corona Super 1957

This machine was another time capsule.  It came with all the original paper work including the purchase receipt.  These machines were the speedy machines of their day.   This is going to have to be used more.

One writer, whom I think used a similar machine was Carlos Fuentes.

Enjoy the pictures.

This is a shock to the narrative.  We won't see this reported on the CBC or CNN.  Thanks to SmallDeadAnimals for catching this.

No 18 Typewriter of the Day: Torpedo 18 - 1953

No18 TOTD a Torpedo 18

I bought this machine from a lady who lived in a small town north of Edmonton.  I am very fond of  Torpedos because of their action and I am also fond of typewriters manufactured in 1953, the year of my birth.  The owner was offering the typewriter on eBay and since she had a Canadian address I knew she would have very little traffic.  I picked it up for my opening bid and discovered that I had bought a great little machine.  I sometimes forget to read the description what I am bidding on and end up with some nasty surprises.  Other times I find that the machine is totally

trashed either by poor packing or nasty drop and draggers.  This machine arrived perfectly.  If you ever get a chance to type on a Torpedo go for it they are worth it.  64 years old and still snappy!  Enjoy the pictures



Have a look at the typeface.  Check out the English keyboard with German and French extra keys. 



Only thing - no tabulator.

There is something wrong with the temperature estimate for the North Pole, its -21C in Alert NU right now.  NASA and NOAA are "cooking" the temperature data already.

Drought?  I think the real problem may be population growth.  It is easy to outgrow your water supply.
