On the Princess standard with german keyboard, I first encountered a smart idea: Unlïke on most swiss key- boards, there aren't dedicated kæys for the french and italian letters with accents like à, ê and à, but only 'znn1‘. T0 construct the circonflex, used in French, you'd simply use both: ‘. It doesn't look perfect, but I'd definitely prefer this two—character solution over the five—character solution used on the swiss keyboard with à, ê, è, ‘ and ‘, which didn't even feature a single '! We could have easily saved three characters, for 1, a simpge ! and_another cool character, maybe an extra—high for AOÜ? maschinengeschrieben.blogspot.com Princess standard Auf der Prinzessin mit Standard-Tastatur Deutsch, ich zum ersten Mal begegnet eine pfiffige Idee: Anders als auf den meisten Schweizer Schlüssel- Boards, gibt es nicht kæys für den Französisch gewidmet und italienische Buchstaben mit Akzenten, wie a, E und A, sondern nur "znn1 '. T0 konstruieren die circonflex, verwendet in Französisch, würden Sie einfach beides: '. Es sieht nicht perfekt, aber ich würde auf jeden Fall bevorzugen diese zwei Zeichen Lösung über die fünf Zeichen Lösung auf die verwendeten Schweizer Tastatur mit à, é, è, 'und', die nicht verfügen sogar über einen einzigen '!

Il ne semble pas parfait, mais je préfère vraiment ce personnage à deux solution sur la solution cinq caractères utilisés sur l' clavier suisse avec un, é, è, «et», qui n'a pas sont même dotées d'un «simple!

The Unaepwoed Pour became a success, and over l.2 mlll- ion were made between 1926 and l947, when lit was finally replaced by newer models. Nith that huge number 0 machines made, the Underwood four is one of the all-time best—rellers, together with the Corona 3. This particular machine, 456727, was made in 1929 in Qridgeport, Connectitut.'It was initially sold by L. Huber, Tel 1040, "Safran". Safran is not a place in Switzerland, but as Georg pointed out, it is a house of a guild in Basel. I got this machine a few kilometers outside of Basel, and it's very supposable that this machine stayed close to its point of sale in the old town of Basle. The Underwood Four features a manual ribbon reverse, color selection, a backspacer and manual margin release, which works on both sides. The spacing is set with the same lever as on the 50s- Underwood Finger-Flite. I am rather surprised by the little paper fingers, the same function as on Underwood 3s and early Corona As, since there's also a paper bail lever. I have no idea why they chose to use both approaches. The touch of the Underwood Four is nice, snappy, maybe a tit unusual in the beginning. It reminds me of the Continental 340, but is different. I especially like the numbers of this machine, they're some sort of filigrane: 1234567890. § I recommend getting one of the l.2 million of these machines. maschinengeschriaben.blogspot.c0m (‘ Underwood Four-Bank 455727 1927 This post was brought to you by The Typosphere
