His daughter Ruth is my grandmother and my father is named for him. I can assure you he gained much fame for the carriage return but would have preferred to be known for his ministry. I actually think he was, based on his circle of friends and the responses to his books and articles.<br /><br />I have a wonderful photo of "Boo" in his Ministerial robes which I would be happy to share. You can contact me at kobearden@gmail.com to discuss this further. His legacy is meaningful to our family even after all these years. It is nice to see him recognized for what was, at the time, a revolutionary improvement to a valuable piece of office equipment!Kathleen O'Neal Beardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543031956501750420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-84574385441756265012014-01-31T21:07:39.578+11:002014-01-31T21:07:39.578+11:00Never seen one on an Underwood, but it looks very ...Never seen one on an Underwood, but it looks very similar to what I've seen on an old Mercedes electric that showed on the local auction site here.RobertGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841652527282627317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-89806102681741961892014-01-29T01:56:09.602+11:002014-01-29T01:56:09.602+11:00Automatic carriage return or not, I love photograp...Automatic carriage return or not, I love photographs of the Underwood No. 5, and its brethren. It represents the peak, to me, of a certain style which expressed pride in the mechanics by fully exposing them, generally gleaming in nickel plating.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004608151032301174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-56472980004065891772014-01-28T14:09:19.573+11:002014-01-28T14:09:19.573+11:00Thank you Richard and Bill for your comments.
Bill...Thank you Richard and Bill for your comments.<br />Bill, I think if Underwood attached to its typewriter and advertised it (as seen in engraving) it surely must have worked?<br />Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-26289940504969600522014-01-28T13:09:35.397+11:002014-01-28T13:09:35.397+11:00Amazing contraption.

Seems like a good idea, though. The Underwood carriage isn't the easiest to return and it would get the typist's left arm tired over a day's work.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
