Hermes 3000 Prices - Then and Today

Tomorrow's post will appear in 41 hours, on Monday, 6 PM CET/12 AM CST. 

Come on the dot, there's a quiz to be solved!

Hermes 3000 Prices - Then and Today On the sviss auction site ricardo, I recently spotted a Hermes 3000, first design. Nothing unusual, on normal days‚ there are a hand full of them for sale. But this one had two specialities: An intriguing vinyl case‚ mint and white‚ and the original receipt from Nov. 1964. Bosshart & Co. in Langnau BE sold the Hermes 3000 N0. 3250075 with synthetics case for 560 CHF. I inserted‘the number into an inflation- ca1culator‚ and here is the resultz Today, this would yost you 2040 Fr Considering the great typewriter the Hermes 3000 is‚ that seems appropriate. Especially since a top—ß(fißßf equipped notebbok costs about the same sum today. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Hermes 3000

Typewriters in the Movies: Silent Souls

Still from Silent Souls. Used with permission by Shadow Distribution.

See also: Typing on a frozen lake.Typewriters in the Movies: Silent Souls When I was filming the Tnrpedo slithering over the frozen Huttnersee, a woman approached me and asked what I was doing with the typewriter. I told her about the blog, and she said that she had seen a film recently, Silent Souls, and that there was a scene with a typewriter being thrown into a frozen river. Back home, I searched for the film, and I found a still of the typewriter immolation on the website of the movie. It is a russian-made 8M, headless and with cyrillic keyboard, as it turned out, which is sinking between smashed ice. I don't know if the filmmakers rescued the typewriter after shooting the scene, but I fear they didn't do so. At least we got another typewriter appearance in a movie, a quite spectacular one. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Optima Elite Schreibmaschinen in the Movies: Silent éouls

The Collection: Triumph Perfekt

I forgot to mention the weight of this behemoth: 8.3 kg in the case, 6 without.

The Collection: Triumph Ierfekt In the series "The Collection". published every Vriday, we present the newest machines in the hoard of maschinengeaohrieben. In this issue, it’: the 1961 Triumph Ferfekt. Solid office '.'rcr1'cr In 1909. Triumph. a comepny manufacturing bikes, bought an insolvent typewriter factory. Until the 19508, TI'iLl.'3?h 511‘ T1; ‘l'.yf,‘e\'.')‘i1.er3, bicycleg and motorbikes. in 1957. Graig bought Triumph ‘and Adler, both independent companies. In 1958. they were unified to Triump-Adler. All business areas except the typewriter dcpartement were abrogated. In this period, this bulbous Triunnh Ferfekt was made. It features a round design which somehow resembles of the legendary Voss. which is a bit older. I don't think they're re- lated, though. This might have bust been a popular design these days.- The Triumph Perfekt is 13 cm high, but despite that size, the Triumpi-Adler) engineers didn't manage to include segment shift in the feature list, In my opinion. that's a major disadvan- tage, especially since every shifting inter- rupts the writing flow. because the Triumph types very light overall, also the carriage return feels like pushing it over an air cushion. but the sflting is rather hard and heavy. As mentioned hefore. the touch of this machine is light. snappy and I could imagine writing longer text with this machine. but the drawback is the unconvenient sflfting. To be recommended with ceflmin limitations. nsschinengeschrisben.blogspot.com Triumph Perfekt 1203326 - 1951

Luckily, he had time on this weekend, so I first got my typewriter in and then met at the railway station in Basel. We, first visited swo thrift stores and found two Hermes 6 and two other standards with totally jammed keys, and a couple of New Old Stock ribbons which bought.

monospace.

monospace. Monospace fonts are a nice thing - for typewriters. They don't mguire individual carriage advancing for every single letter‚ unlike a proportianl font‚ which maxes the i less wide than tne w. But should we use mogospace fonts like Courier if we have other options, for example on a screen or in a printout? I don't thinx so, because proportional fonts like Arial/Helvetica or even better‚ because with serifs, Times New Roman are much better legible and gived much less eyestrain when used for typesetting of a longer text. I'm not a big fan of the "original" typewriter fonts for the Computer eithee. With smudges and other defects looking old, they're nice for a logo‚ maybe a title or a typewriter related‚ short description. But personally I preier clean‚ modern fonts Ior reading longer texts. maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olympia SM-5

The Collection: Olivetti Lettera 32

And here's the solution to yesterday's little quiz:

the collection: olivetti lettera 32 In the series "The Ool1ection"‚ published every Friday‚ we present the typewriters used by maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com. A writing design icon. In 1949, Marcello Nizzoli designed the Olivetti Lettera 22. It was agreat success‚ Leonard Cohen and Pier Pasolini used it‚ the former one even in the bathtub. After 14 years of prosperity‚ the Lettera 22 was replaced by the Lettera 32, also designed by Nizzoli and without many big differences. That lasted for many years to come‚ most of the ifllowing Olivetti portables were not much more than the Lettera 32cin a varied outer design. Examples would be the Dora, its twins (Underwood 919) or the (in)famous Valentine. But‚ compared to the Valentine, the Lettera feels mudl better. And it's a famous design product‚ too. The only 4.2 kg light machine is equipped with light basket shift and a tabulator - that makes it the smallest and lightest full—featured machine I know. Only an individual touch regulator isn't present. The touch on the Olivetti Lettera is generally light‚ the typing feel is convenient. With a new ribbon‚ this l967—model leaves a consistant typeface. A drawback for bigger-handed typists are the tiny keys‚ the keytops measure 1,4 cm and can be rather hard to hit‚ the spacebar is even worse‚ at the thickest place‚ it's only 0.7 cm wide. Despite this little discomfort, I can absolutely recommend this little machine. masohinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olivetti lettera Olivetti Lettera 32 — 2902601 - 1967 Die Sammlung: Olivetti Lettera 32 In der Reihe "Die Ool1ection", veröffentlicht jedes Freitag, präsentieren wir die Schreibmaschinen von maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com. Eine Schrift, Design-Ikone. Im Jahr 1949 entwarf Marcello Nizzoli die Olivetti Lettera 22. Es war eine tolle Erfolg, Leonard Cohen und Pier Pasolini benutzt es, die ehemalige man sogar in die Badewanne. Nach 14 Jahren des Wohlstands, die Lettera 22 wurde von der Lettera 32, auch ausgebildet Fassung Nizzoli und ohne viele große Unterschiede. Das dauerte für viele Jahre zu kommen, die meisten der ifllowing Olivetti Portables waren nicht viel mehr als die Lettera 32cin ein abwechslungsreiches äußeren Design. Beispiele hierfür wären die Dora sein, ihre Zwillinge (Underwood 919) oder der (un) bekannten Valentine. Aber im Vergleich zum Valentinstag, fühlt sich der Lettera mudl besser. Und es ist eine berühmte Design-Produkt auch. Die nur 4,2 kg leichte Gerät ist mit Licht ausgestattet Korb Verschiebung und ein Tabulator - das macht es die kleinste und leichteste voll funktionsfähige Maschine, die ich kenne. Nur eine individuelle Note Regler nicht vorhanden ist. Der Druck auf das Olivetti Lettera ist in der Regel leicht, Das Tippgefühl ist bequem. Mit einer neuen Band, dies l967-Modell hinterlässt einen konsistenten Schrift. Ein Nachteil bei größeren Händen Schreibkräfte sind die winzigen Tasten können die Decklagen Maßnahme 1,4 cm und eher schwer zu treffen, ist die Leertaste, noch schlimmer, bei der dicksten Stelle, es ist nur 0,7 cm breit. Trotz dieser wenig Unbehagen, das kann ich absolut empfehlen dieses kleine Maschine. Olivetti Lettera masohinengeschrieben.blogspot.com
Olivetti Lettera 32 - 2902601 bis 1967 la collezione: Olivetti Lettera 32 Nella serie "The Ool1ection", pubblicato ogni Venerdì, vi presentiamo le macchine da scrivere utilizzate da maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com. Una scrittura icona del design. Nel 1949, Marcello Nizzoli ha progettato la Olivetti Lettera 22. E 'stato agreat successo, Leonard Cohen e Pier Pasolini usato, quello precedente, anche in vasca da bagno. Dopo 14 anni di prosperità, la Lettera 22 è stata sostituita dalla Lettera 32, anch'esso progettato da Nizzoli e senza molte grandi differenze. Che durò per molti anni a venire, la maggior parte delle ifllowing Olivetti portatili non erano molto di più del 32cin Lettera un disegno vario esterno. Esempi sarebbe la Dora, i suoi gemelli Underwood (919) o la (in) Valentine famosi. Ma, rispetto al San Valentino, la Lettera si sente mudl migliore. Ed è un prodotto di design famoso, troppo. L'unica macchina di luce di 4,2 kg è provvisto di luce basket turno e un tabulatore - che lo rende il più piccolo e leggero ricco di funzionalità della macchina lo so. Solo un regolatore di tocco individuale non è presente. Il tocco sulla Olivetti Lettera è in genere leggero, la sensazione di digitazione è comoda. Con un nuovo nastro, l967 questo modello lascia un carattere tipografico consistente. Un inconveniente per il più grande-handed dattilografi sono la piccola chiavi, i 1,4 cm e copritasti in misura può essere piuttosto difficile da colpire, la barra spaziatrice è ancora peggio, a più spesso posto, è solo 0,7 cm di larghezza. Nonostante questo piccolo disagio, sono assolutamente possibile consiglia questa piccola macchina. masohinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olivetti Lettera Olivetti Lettera 32 - 2902601-1967 la collection: Olivetti Lettera 32 Dans la série "Le Ool1ection", publié tous les Vendredi, nous présentons les machines à écrire utilisées par maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com.

Après 14 années de prospérité, la Lettera 22 a été remplacé par la Lettera 32, également conçu par Nizzoli et sans beaucoup de grandes différences.

Les exemples pourraient être la Dora, ses jumeaux (Underwood 919) ou la Saint-Valentin (tristement) célèbre. Mais, par rapport à la Saint-Valentin, la Lettera sent mudl mieux. Et c'est un produit de design célèbre, aussi. La machine à seulement 4,2 kg est équipée de lumière avec la lumière changement panier et une tabulatrice - qui en fait le plus petit et léger et riche en fonctionnalités machine à je sais. Seul un régulateur de touche individuelle n'est pas présent. La touche sur le Lettera Olivetti est généralement léger, la sensation de frappe est commode. Avec un nouveau ruban, cette l967-modèle laisse une police de caractères consistante. Un inconvénient pour les plus droitiers dactylographes sont le minuscule touches, les recouvertes d'1,4 cm et mesure peut être assez difficile à atteindre, la barre d'espace est encore pire, à la plus épaisse place, c'est seulement 0,7 cm de large. Malgré cette gêne peu, je ne peux absolument recommandons cette petite machine. masohinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Olivetti Lettera Olivetti Lettera 32 - 2902601 à 1967

care for your typewriter.

care for your typewriter. my Underwood Finger-Elite turned out to be a debacle‚ as you might have read, the carriage return lever is severely broKen‚ the carriage has erratic errors and I also discovereä that the tab set arm is broken (a tiny tip has broken off)‚ but at least I got a manual with it - ior l CHF I don't want to complain. And this Handbuch, as we call it in german‚ includes a good advice: "clean your typewriter's typeslugs every evening" That makes sense. If we use a brush every evening to clean away the leftover inx and dirt, we possibly don't neeä to get out the toothpicks that often.

I couldn't really appreciate this...

I couldn't really appreciateithis... On the seeond day of ITAM, my colleagues must have sensed a distarbance in the force. Or it was just co- inoidence. However, when I arriveä after noon‚ after a unsuccessful typehunt, they enthusiasically greeted me and told me they had a present for me. I quickly sensed it would be typewriter-related, and then I spotted the huäe plastic bag; trq had there, sitting on the floor. Insiüe was a behemoth — a red IBM electric. We hauled it onto a desK‚ plugged in the power cord, I triggered the power switch — and the famous idle hum resounded. Sadly‚ that was the only noise the type— writer emitted, when I pressed the kegs, they resisted. Great depression. Everyone tried some levers and switch— es, bat the sleeping giant couldn't be awakened. With a closer look at the typeheed, I also realiesed that the type Container — I don't know if it's either a ballhead or a daisy wheel — and a ribben were missing. Only the correction ribbon was stiil there. The colleaöues told me they had found it on the road, with a siän saying "to take-away" and helplessly cowered under february snow. I thouöht about takinä the leviathan home‚ but since I don't KHOW anything about IBMS, the type element and the ribbon were missing, it didn't have a case, it was pretty filthy (a colleaäue who ran the finger over the red shell had black finäers efterwards) and I'm not a particular fan of electric typewriters‚ I Qecided to leave it et worx. I don't know what will happen next, maybe the cleanind staff alreedy removeu it? Did I sacrifice a poor typewrier? Or die this serve it riäht‚ the stupid IBM? I don't know. What Q0 you think?
