Carbon Ribbon 3000 / Ravishingly Red Royal

Hermes 3000s look almost as ungainly and cute skinned as they do whole.

I suggest that from now on everybody does their type samples according to keyboard layout.

(That title was contributed by the Royal...I really don't know. These Royals are so vain!)

As a sidenote, I will no longer be grading new typewriters. The numbers I was coming up with had no relevance, they were always clustering around 5 and that doesn't really give an accurate view of a typewriter if all of them are approximately 5 out of 6!

The rinsing out actually didn't do much good at all. It's still rather dirty. I definitely don't need to oil it though! I'm guessing that if a true cleaning takes place, the oil will be gone too. Either way, it's not filled with eraser crumbs any more. I did do a thorough soap washing of the exterior panels, especially the ribbon cover to be painted this week.
