Rocky’s Role in the Vanishing of Pre-1920 Typewriters
Just months after the founding of the OAMI, the newsletter announced the parameters of the training school’s need for machines on which to train the students. The machines accepted for the program were rebuilt at the cost of materials and returned to the dealers who resold them. There was a hard limit to how old […]
Mail Call & ArtCipher 5
See, the thing is this; I type as the SPIRIT wills, speaking in tounges that even I don’t understand afterwards. Ask me what it’s about and I’ll shrug, a vessel wrung out through the fingers onto the 13″ platen 1973 IBM Selectric II holding the tiny 3 1/2″ wide newsprint canvas. The SPIRIT done rode […]
1938 Corona Zephyr Typewriter Service Adjustment Methods
There is a clear delineation between pre-WWII service instructions for typewriters and Post WWII service manuals. Prior to WWII, it was expected that the typewriter mechanic would be an apprentice to an experienced mechanic, or would have come out of factory training or even working for a time for a typewriter manufacturer before striking off […]

Weapon of Choice: “Mothra” 1972 IBM Selectric Composer #5016537 Typewriter Club Live: 2023-02-05 Box not full of Olympia SM3, despite label claims.
ARTCIPHER NUMBER FOUR
Weapon of Choice: “Dr. Lizardo” 1973 IBM Selectric II #26 1220365 Beguiled by the beauty of the Calligraphy typeball, I neglected to switch into encryption mode for Number 4. Hopefully it will slip under the radar of Indifference, else the secret will be out… And let’s throw a little noise in there, to trick the […]
Easy Random Access Memory
Weapon of Choice: “Easy” 1964 Hermes 3000 #3246817
Mail Call! Three Letters Today! :D
Typewriter Club Live: 2023-02-05 Here’s an interesting binder that holds the pages of the 1950 Olympia SM2 Parts Manual I just scanned… How does the Correspondence System work when I get THREE letters in a single night, and my desk is covered in pages of a 1949 AMES Catalog I’m scanning? Well, for tonight I […]
More Books, an 1888 Hammond 1 and a nifty Corona 3 Case

We can now add this to 1940 No.5, 1946 No.100, 1955 No.9, 1960 No.10 and 1965 No.11 – 386 pages of typewriter parts, tools and products for the nation’s typewriter dealers added to the timeline.

Art for Fart’s Sake
Mystery Service Manuals On The Way & Some Royal Delights
Weapon of Choice: 1941 Royal Companion #CD-226351 Whoops, the Margin Release linkage came out of the hole in the Center Stop paddle. Easy fix, though – turn the machine over, pull the paddle forward and re-insert the linkage. Royal’s ad in the 1940 National Typewriter and Office Machine Dealers Association “Souvenir Program”. The NT&OMDA dropped […]

Robot, I May Be Asking You To IMAGINE, but I Really Mean “Prove To Me That You Can’t”
Weapon of Choice: “Uncanny Valley” 2022 Midjourney Roboto BSAN Yeah – not exactly what I’m looking for. It’s kinda fez-like, but strong Jackie O vibes, and if that’s the best you can do, then you don’t know what one is.. There we go – no robot can steal as well as a human with Photoshop. […]
