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.
