No. 43 - Typewriter of the Day: Remington Travel-riter

No. 43 - TOTD: Remington Travel-riter

It's Sunday and the topics I follow are a quiet.  A solution is to put in another typewriter of the day into the blog.  Remingtons are true workhorses, in particular the Quiet-riters, the other machines in their lines are also interesting.  The Travel-riters are a smaller machine, more portable and probably they were a lot cheaper to purchase.  Today's machine is a later model of the Travel-riter, still all metal and still with the same functions as the earlier machines of the same line including a key with the degree sign and division character; you don't see that key at all on any other machine.  There is no tab function and no paper guide so it is stripped to the basics.  I am keeping this machine in the permanent collection.

Here is a picture.

Looking at the records I cannot find a reference to anyone who uses this model but I will keep looking.  It types very well and seems to be almost unused.

Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the basement here are some serious threats to think about.  I personally think that the threat of robotics is the nearest term threat.  With robotics reducing the need for a workforce we can cause a demand problem; workers are consumers, robots are not.  Robotics will allow for increased lower cost production but if there is less demand for the products the prices will have to be reduced.  Also, except for the baby issue the robotics and AI issues will be dealt with by the EMP attacks.

No. 42 - Typewriter of the Day: Olympia SM 4 with Script Font

No. 42 - TOTD Olympia SM4 with Script Font.

It's raining and snowing here so I might as well take time to do a TOTD.  I was going to do a Remington Travel-riter but I decided to cull the machine and am going to take it in to the Salvation Army Thrift Store.   So on to the SM4.  This typewriter entered my collection years ago.  I am fascinated by machines that type in Script Font and this machine and its colour I enjoyed.  It had a problem with mashed rubber washers which made the machine sag and rub the carriage against the case.  Fixed this and it types fine now.  Just need to adjust the alignment of the upper case to the lower case - the upper case types slightly high and I need to find what is rolling around somewhere is the guts of the machine ant it will be perfect.  Condition is showing some wear from the carriage return lever and the space bar where the last owners thumb rested.  This would mean that this machine was used a lot which is amazing for script font which was usually just used for personal communication.

Let see what other writers used the SM4.  Going to Richard Polt's site I found Evan S. Connell, a wirter that I have not yet read but whom I will now.
