But I did find one.
Most typists used the lower case L as the one digit.
True.
Being of a certain age, I set type using the lead pieces and racks (we called 'em scrabble bars). The 'L' lower case serif font WAS the number '1.'
My Dad was a newspaper man. Three finger typing whirling to the crescendo "SLAM!" of the carriage return.
Cheers. Nice typewriter!
Nice typewriter! My parakeet, Pedro, wasn't thrilled about the typewrite song. Squawk!
Sorry, Pedro.
Love an old typewriter. (We have one in the house we got at a flea market that the kids occasionally drag out for the fun of writing with it.)
It's beautiful. But I don't have a desk to put it on.
Or, four stout lads to heave it onto that desk.
That's a beaut! Before I read your words I saw name on the typewriter and silently said: "Yeah! Right!" And your comment: "...the idea that this machine is silent, is more of a hope than a promise." Love it.
