Factories and showrooms

Factories

Facit: Åtvidaberg, 1957

Olivetti:

British Olivetti: Glasgow, 1957

A bit mesmerizing...

Robotron: Dresden, 1987

Smiles all 'round.

Robotron: Dresden, 1988-89

Here at the Robotron factory you can see an Olympia Regina De Luxe alongside more standard Erikas (and possibly other brands).

Showrooms (and similar)


Remington: Munich

In this case I don't think the typewriter is the main focus...

Olivetti: Switzerland, 1960s

Olivetti showrooms—not to be outdone by the typewriters' style!

Optima: DDR, 1950s

So many different Optimas on display!

Royal, Smith-Corona, Underwood: USA, 1960s

A shop that displays many kinds of used items, with typewriters as a centerpiece.

Royal: USA, 1960s

Adler: England, 1960s

The suspended-in-air display is quite delightful.

Rheinmetall: Rio de Janeiro, 1930s

Probably taken through a shop window?

In case if you haven't seen before, I created this map of known typewriter factories around the world.

Making the most of the Triumph/Adler

I fear this isn't quite as useful as the BBC's excellent program Making the Most of the Micro, though.

I've created a new header, change the blue to orange, and also officially made the title all with small letters. I've been getting more and more spam comments that I've had to filter out, so I may have to start using captchas but I'm going to hold out against doing so as long as I can.

[EDIT] I have changed the settings to only accept comments from non-anonymous users.
