The Collection: antares compact
The Collection: antares ‘In the series "The Collection", new typewriters at maschinengeschriebei are presented. Today, it's the two-tone antares commonly called the "Antares compact". In the night sky, Antares is the brightest star in the Scorpius constellation. It is a red super- giant star, its radius is approximately 883 times that of the sun. Even though.the antares typewriter brand is named after such a huge thing, the machines the italian brand started to produce in 1954 are pretty small: The antares compact is 73 mm high and 3.6 kg heavy - without the plastic lid. The typebars are very short, giving the antares a snapgr typing feel, but I have to say that this also results in a "speed limit"; the antares is not a good choice to win a speed typing contest, it is really required to type carefully and rather slowly. The shift mechanism is a tilting of the carriage, as seen on the Hermes Baby. After all, the typmng feel is good, but with the downside of considerably slowing down your typing. The quick brown fox jumps over thalazy dog. THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG. !"*%&( )_'/9‘ §+:?-3--..= F1'23456789éé.‘ 1155, .- maschinengeschriebea.blogspot.com antares (compact) C—2lO886-105 ' This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere
