Backside of Hermes Rocket with missing escapement gear. Perfect machine, otherwise...
New project: the Remie Scout. As beat as it looks, it will type great once I have installed a new drawstring. Hell, it seems to work better than some of my far prettier machines. Well...as nicely as a machine without tab, backspace, margin release, actual margins, bell, auto ribbon reversal, and ribbon color selector can work. I really like it!

The mysterious (to me at least) Toyriter. All the info I could find is Russo's blurb. "Manufactured by Wayne Toy Manufacturing Company of Dayton, Ohio. A well-made dial indicator typewriter, using inkpads and rubber type arrange around the circumference of the dial face." Anyone else have one or know about these?

Sent from my Oliver 9.
I will be posting the next day of our road trip honeymoon soon, so stay tuned and keep those typebars swinging.

I don't remember seeing a Toyriter before. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteGood job typing on your Oliver, with nice Printype.
That makes me feel all that much better about the purchase.
DeleteI love the Oliver. My only problem with mine is the variable line spacing. It always seems to want to double space, not matter the seeting. I actually typed that just using the platen knob. If the gear for the platen is not engaged, it seems to work fine. Puzzling...
