A little Urania

1936 Klein-Urania 138377

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and expect the good with the bad. One thing I have gotten from sad eBay experiences are the odd metal spool! (Usually just one, along with a plastic) So I have two full sets of nice glossy metal DIN spools, for my Urania and my Triumph.

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.

Torpedo 20 vs Remington Travel-Riter

1952 Torpedo 20 610490

195X Remington Travel-Riter TR 629 703

Notice how the Torpedo logo on the outside of the case is nicer than on the paper table. XD

The Torpedo comes out as the clear winner for speed and touch, though the Remington has a nicer carriage return and more convenient functions. The Torpedo's case is a lot nicer, too. When I say I prefer Remingtons least of American typewriters, I mean post-war Remingtons. I'm quite fond of their earlier designs.
