He Whose Name Must Never Be Mentioned
TYPEWRITER DAY 2013 |
| 1949/50 Smith-Corona 4AR15827 "He Whose Name Must Never Be Mentioned" |
Composed with my new Smith-Corona, unanimously elected leader of the local division of the insurgency, which is not organized top down, but contrarily on a local basis with no administrative connection whatsoever to any claimed central power.
Soon after this typecast I heard an explosion in the near distance. Remember, I live right downtown in a city.

His serial number cannot be found in the Typewriter Database, and I guess he is from 1949/50. For now I will call him a Smith-Corona 4AR, just like we call the Electric a 5TE.

Mashed out on my Hermes 3000. Incidentally the paper matches the keys almost perfectly.

Why men live longer than their fathers
Fingers were gently caressed by the golden touch of an Underwood Quiet Tab Ace in the creation of this feature-length film.

Soooooo many popular culture references.

I realised a day after I got it that it was missing the back Skyriter name panel by the bunny ears. If anybody has one they could spare that is in the beige colour, let me know! Also, I have found a new method to take better photos. I've set up a mini-studio with a grey blanket that helps my camera take better photos, somehow. They look pretty sharp against the darker background.
Typed adamantly with our new Smith-Corona Skyriter

Inquisitively typed with the assistance of a new typewriter yet to be mentioned here
Also, I caved in to having blog-formatted paper, as I'm going to be doing typecasts on half-sheets of paper. I have a gigantic old Ingento paper cutter that's perfect for the application, and my normal 120ppi scans fit perfectly at full-res on my blog. ^^ No more clicking on images to read on a separate page!

From a time before the Sears Tower's watchful eye towered over Lake Michigan

| 1957 Tower President (Smith-Corona) 5TT575856X |
I've always been amused at how the "Sears Tower" predated the Sears Tower by over 20 years.
Typed on my new 1957 Tower President on some very tea-stained paper.
