Fox Island Torpedo / London type-in/out

Fox Island bridge

possibly living (or recently dead) sand dollar

dead sand dollar

More photos of the Torpedo 18b can be seen at its typewriter database gallery.

The 2014 London type-in/out will be held in the South Kensington area. The meetingplace will be the Science Museum entrance, seen in the picture below from Google Maps. If it's raining, we will meet right inside the entrance, otherwise by the benches outside.

The plan then will be: If raining or forecasted to rain, go to the Hoop & Toy pub (same as last year's type-in location). If clear, go to a selected outdoor location with convenient tables and shelters for a type-out.

Sleek and strange black wonder

1951 Voss 51 26596

When I got this it looked nice, but it didn't shine. An (I won't say quick because it took me an hour) application of oil to the smooth surfaces brought the true beauty back to this machine.

A Voss question—I have noticed both with this and the gullwing Voss I owned a few years ago that when using a brand new well-inked ribbon, there is some smearing of ink on the page. I do not experience this problem with very many typewriters using my ribbons, but it plagued both Vosses I've owned. Is this a known thing?

Studio techno / Typewriter principles

1969 Olivetti Studio 45 1476307

the techno typeface I am still seeking

more like a 5 year guarantee of psychedelic confusion

No matter what I just said, don't think that all of the exciting typewriters are expensive. XD
