Post scriptum: yesterday used my Remington Victor T to type a letter (and two drafts, the backspace did not erase...). I was really struck again by how loud that machine is. Maybe this is partly because the platen is hard, but it made me appreciate the noiseless feature.
I have a similar Noiseless, and it does take a bit of different technique, I think, to get the best results. I haven't noticed mine skipping at all, though.
ReplyDeleteYou're very right; using the Noiseless next to a 'regular' it needs a very different touch. Maybe my escapement is a bit worn/needs adjusting (not touching it; much to scared of messing that up :)
