spring quiz: last quiz


In yesterday's quiz, the solution was the Triumph Perfekt.
This typewriter, very popular amongst the Typospherians, has a rather special typebasket.
I'm sure you know which machine this is. Leave the answer as a comment!

spring quiz: fourth quiz


The answer from yesterday's third quiz is the Continental 100. The multi-function lever is the work of a genius.
This typewriter is a bit more trivial, but I'm sure you'll find out which one is pictured here.

spring quiz: third quiz


Yesterday's carriage return lever is attached to my Torpedo 18.
This machine has a very smart Tab/Margin-Setting/Clearing with only one lever.
Do you know which model is equipped with such a practical feature? Leave your comment.

spring quiz: second quiz


Yesterday's typewriter was - I'm sure you got it right - the Olivetti ICO.
This carriage return lever has some sophisticated design. But which typewriter belongs to it?
