The Royal 5 Standard (1913) still has a light touch.

When you grow up in the modern age with computer keyboards, electric typewriters… its easy to overlook just how advanced a typewriter the Royal 5 was for its time and place.  Until I read up on typewriters and had experience with other 100 year old typewriters… I did not appreciate just how light a touch the Royal 5 had.  When the light bulb in my head went on… I was really amazed by the machine.  What I take for granted today… was a true marvel for its time.

Still light on the fingers... easy touch keys the 1913 Royal 5.
