The modern way to write

With the current, slow project of resurrecting a battered Remington Portable #2 typewriter; to have a look at the target that we're aiming at. Some inspiration...

To add to the refurbished 1927 tangerine typewriter, some promotional literature advertising the machine. Reprints of brochures extolling the virtues of the Remington Portable typewriter for any man, woman or child.

On the very extensive oztypewriter site Mr Messenger posted scans of several advertising materials. (Thank you!) With a graphics program, these images were edited and touched up - stains and blemished removed, alignments adjusted and some areas newly made and extended. Then with some guesswork on the actual arrangement on a tri-fold brochure, printed these reproductions on smooth, cream paper.

Now there's a promise - the reports simply roll out of the machine!

To be fair - in its time it really was groundbreaking. This was the first standard keyboard, compact portable that really addressed the mass consumer market. (An emerging concept of itself, it could be argued). A fairly common machine to find today still, yet a very influential machine that defined much of the basic archetype of the portable typewriter for decades afterwards.
