Whatsamacallit (1910 Smith Premier) Thingofmagjig (1913 Royal 5).

Brought out my problem children for some fun in the sun.  They type so they work. One day I will get them working well… for now its just fun to press their keys.

Found another rod out of its socket… now the backspace works (and the space bar is slightly less responsive).  Pulled about two inches of dirt/dust/hair balls out from between the various springs.  So the next time I use this machine it may work better.  I hope so.
