Know your typewriter



About 15 minutes, no sound, but lots of typewriters shown in pristine condition. Movie is over at archive.org, also viewable there and downloadable in several formats.

Estimate it dates from the late thirties.

Very informative, especially for those not familiar with the whole concept of a typewriter.

      The archive.org is a wondrous place to browse, really amazing items there. And after ~80-odd years there may again be an audience for this intro :-)

    Nice to see a mix of touch and two-fingered (most of the male) typists!

      You're right, that makes me feel better about my less-than-10-finger typing...
