Typing Underwater.

Typing underwater.This weekend is the hottest this year, at lead:up to now — the administrations actually publisheda heat warning, but actually, it's only a bit over32 degrees Celsius - it's quite a change from thelast snow earlier this month, though. And aftera ride on a S-Bahn train without cooling and ashort walk afterwards, I declared the heat to beunbearable, grabbed my Tippa and sat into the coolwaters of tiny pool, which is more towards a concretecylinder wrapped with rusting metal, collectingrain water from our roof —excellent to water plantsand to cool down in a heat like this.So I sit on a little step in the pool, having theTippa on a wooden half that otherwise would coverthe pool if it's not in use. Works well, and isa really effective method of preventing your brainfrom melting inua heat wave.Actually, the temperature is already going downquite rapidly, as it's already past 6 PM, thereare also grey clouds incoming and a light breezeis starting to make me shiver - I think I'll endmy underwater typing here.June 30, 2012, 18:10. 29.8 degrees Celsius 'maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Adler Tippa This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere Hitzewelle 30.

The Collection: Adler Tippa

The Collection: Adler Tippa In the series "The Collection", we present the newest additions to the collection of maschinen— geschrieben. This Friday, it's a 1960s Adler Tippa. Two-Tone Typer In 1950, Gossen introduced their Tippa typewriter as "Office in a briefcase". It was a lightweight, small portable. The machine was a success, and in 1956, the much bigger Adler company bought the Tippa license from Gossen. Adler continued - the popular machine, and in 1960, it was re- introduced with a new design, plastic hull, modern Keys and two-tone colour design. The appealing design won several design prizes, and the machine sold well. Not a big surprise: The post-war portable has an excellent typing feel. It is snappy, light, fast. The keys are executed in a convenient triangle shape with rounded croners corners, the shift is light and the carriage return werks well. The problem is the loud typing noise, the keys transmit much force onto the typebar,.resulting in a sharp, loud impact. Even though there's a metal part supposed to slow the typebars down before hitting the type- bar guide, the typing noise is very loud. Not suited for nighttime typing. On the other hand, even though the plastic top cover of my Tippa has become loose on one end, there's no rattling from this. Overall, the 2nd generation Tippa is a nice and stylish typewriter. Totally recommended getting one! ‘ n"*%&()_=/*9 123h56789é‘A QWERTZUIOP§ qwertzuiopfi ASDFGHJKL+: asdfghjkloa YXcvBNM?V' yxcvbnm,.- maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com 1961 Adler Tippa U2h3895 This awesome post was brought to you by the mighty Typosphere
