  Thank you for the valuable video. Of the ten shown here, though, which would be the easiest to phsycially type with if h have snall andrather weak hands (e.g., a small woman with small hands, and not much muscle in the fingers to use to strike a key with force).? I refer to actual typing, not difficulties carrying the case (...there are hand carts for that 🙂). So, the ypewriter that required the least force to make a strong key- strike on the paper, but also with keys that have large faces (one problem I have had on manual typewriter is missing the key altogether, specifically machine have small keys with large gaps between the keys, ot hitting the key on the edge, so not giving it enough force to make the key stroke the papers with force. Which of the ten machines you describe here would fit this requirement, please?

  Another small feature I have at least on my Mod. 41: You can pull the top of the paper holder/support and extend it quite a bit, enough to almost fit an A4 paper. The extended part has horizontal lines on it, and it has been helpful in telling how close to the end of the paper I am getting.

  Just bought two of my very first typewriters: A 1973 wide-carriage Erika Daro Mod. 41, with all the original papers, and a Triumph Tippa, made in the Netherlands according to the label on the back. The Erika cost me 15 €, and the Tippa 10 €. Both sellers just wanted to get rid of old "junk" of their relatives. Both come in an integrated carrying case, which is very nice, and the Tippa should be a nice machine to take on my travels. Both work and are well kept, but definitely need some cleaning. But is there a way for me to detach the Erika 41 from the bottom of the case? It seems to be bolted in tight, and I haven't yet found a way to do it. Would make cleaning the internals a lot easier...

•

  And almost as soon as I ask this question, I figure out that you detach it by simply lifting. Oh well, now I can finally get to cleaning the internals!

  Thank you for compiling this information into one video! It is very helpful! Due to my budget, I am looking at purchasing a used (in working condition) lower-end vintage typewriter. I recently came across the Coronet Super 12 Smith-Corona Electric Typewriter. What are your thoughts on this typewriter? Also, for those proficient in touch typing, can you suggest a vintage, quality, cost-effective typewriter that unused fingers can be laid on home row when not typing, will not require too much finger pressure to press keys (so as to avoid hand strain), one that has accessible and good-quality replacement parts that are relatively inexpensive, and one that has longevity (made well and will not have small parts breaking down, which would make it expensive to repair and unusable to me). Perhaps such a typewriter is a needle in a haystack, but if you have any thoughts on the typewriter brand/model that fits this wish list, I would appreciate your thoughts! And another question I have is: I would like to get a good-quality (durable and does not have pieces that are easily broken), easy to type-on, non-electric AND electric vintage typewriter that is a suitable for a child (7+ years old) to LEARN to type on. Can you suggest any ones that come to mind (and any ones that I should avoid)?

  Wrong about QWERTY. It was meant to avoid jamming but the jamming happened when people were typing too fast. The layout does separate common keys to avoid jamming but separating common keys slows typing.

  Of course, the "qwerty" keyboard layout was designed, not to make you type slower, NOR to prevent key jamming. The guy who first invented the typewriter, Scholes, did an extensive study of the best keyboard layout for fast entry, referring to telegraph operators who were using his keyboard morse code transmitter. He finally settled on the "qwe;ty" keyboard layout. When Remington built the first typewriter from Scholes's design, they swapped the "R" and the ";" keys. This can be shown by the utter failure of alternate keyboard layouts, such as Dvorak, to replace "qwerty," even in the computer age, when there is no possibility of keys jamming. Please note that the E & R, G & H, and A & S are right next to each other as are many other commonly used key combinations. Key jamming is an engineering problem, easily solved by mechanical means. When advertising his new typing machine, Scholes used a picture of his daughter using it to show that it was easy enough for anybody to use. Since then, the first typewriters were sold with flowers painted on them and shown with women using them to show that this isn't an industrial machine, but something that could easily be placed in your parlor. There is a fascinating book available for free from Project Gutenberg called "The Story of the Typewriter" which was written in the early twenties for the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the typewriter, at gutenberg.org. Make mine Royal!
