I've a few separate machines on the operating table as of the moment, and thought that I would see how well the Typosphere knows the random bits and pieces of the innumerable machine makes and models out there.
Object 1:
Clearly a key lever. But from what machine did this come from?
Object 2:
Of all the machines which I've taken down to pieces to clean and restore, this particular machine has by far the most unique type-bar design.
Object 3:
Another type-bar, but with its own unique twist; This type-bar is only about 2 and a half inches in length.
Object 4:
A switch with a balled top. A curious feature that not many typewriters often use. This is looking at it as if you were peering from the inside of the machine outwards.
#2: Underwood?
ReplyDelete#3: Underwood 3-bank portable?
You are correct on both accounts. #2 is from an Underwood 5, though I can only assume that they used the same design for models 1 though 5 and potentially even on later models.
