Before the Hanx Writer there was the Visual Typewriter… computer software that presented you the image and sounds of a Remington portable.  Came out about 10 years ago with the last version in 2007… before its time .

Just a sitten and a typing… its a Royal day!
The Royal #1 from 1911 is a great machine to sit down in front of its keyboard and admire its view. Then you get to type on it.
My Rooy can type: “Happy”… its all I need!
Its so small, light easy to put away… easy on the eyes… not a great typer…. don’t really care… I press keys and “Happy” will appear…
The color purple… and the blick roller
I soak my blick roller and it turns the fluid purple… when its clear I hope to see black!
Quiet Tab
The common… uncommon… the Remington Noiseless and others…
Some things you just don’t notice… noiseless typewriters had a long life over 40 years of manufacture and for the most part I was unaware.  So many existed but I find them to be uncommon but common… so many but so few. A contradiction perhaps… but it sparks my interest in them.
What the Dickens… the Twists of my Oliver 3
I must admit that I am a twisted person… I could not overlook Dickens and Oliver and as some kid once said: “I want some more…”
The Oliver 3 no one seemed to want…
I had seen worse… own worse in fact. I offered a price the seller thought was way low… but said if no one bid on it in seven days I could have it at my price.
The spools did not turn… I kept punching holes into the ribbon as I attempted to see what the problem was. I kept cutting off ruined ribbon… until the roll was almost done… then things began to creep and crawl and spin and turn and the next thing I knew I had a page of type … no more holes in the ribbon (what is left of it)… And the day ends with a smile!
One step closer to great… Folding Multiplex
Can’t seem to stay away from getting a good page out of the Multiplex. Based on Thomas Russo showing 1926 for a folding multiplex only 2,000 numbers less than mine… I will place mine as a 1926.
New Impression Strip… changes perception of Hammond Multiplex
Switch one strip of rubber for another and “wow” performance improves… and its a different typewriter.
Blickensderfer 8 with carbon paper…
No ink roller.. so I tried this Blick with carbon paper… I believe I can get some good results with practice. Once I get use to the keyboard and typing blind.
