Typing filmed at 120fps
My camera has a high speed (120fps) setting, although the resolution is limited. Enjoy these slow motion videos of me typing on my Hermes 3000, Olivetti Valentine, Remington Noiseless, Remington Portable 2, Torpedo 18, and Triumph Norm.
View them all and more at my youtube channel, X Over It.
It is said that the Torpedo is one of the fastest typewriters. I think that the footage backs this claim up because the typebars seem to be a bit snappier than on the other typewriters! (or am I just wishing?)

Angles and Epoca

Look at those strange, sharp shoulders. Who would have guessed such a rounded, innocent typeface could be contained within? I think Epoca was the first typewriter typeface I fell in love with, back in 2011 while reading Adwoa's blog. It took this long to pursue that love. Good thing I waited. ^^

Tabs / More Continental 200
That would be a gif animation, twice for good measure. I find that black and white photos are far superior in some situations, such as this, where colour would merely be a distraction.

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!
Sent from my Hermes 3000 and a mystery pica donor.

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

I forgot to mention, the rubber feet are completely shot. Anybody know where I might be able to find replacements? I think it would be worth it for this otherwise perfect machine. Another thing is how the key travel is very short compared to other typewriters, which gives it a really unique feel. The more I use it the more I get the feel of it, it just takes some getting used to.
Update: The keytops fit my fingertips better than most typewriters. The touch is also really growing on me. I enjoy using my 2000 for more than just horrible business letters. :O

Hehee. Hahaa. I forgot my plea. Um, well, want to exchange these things called typewritten letters? I want to if you're young, attractive, male, and single. But if you're nice that's good enough. Email me. nickbeland (at) gmail (dot) com
