Do you think it mildly amusing that we can spend so much time mulling over such a typewriter, or is it just part of the rich tapestry of typewriter fascination?

It's really clear that the No. 10 is directly derived from the earlier models but 'rationalized,' or should I say 'conventionalized' with a more modern (ignoring Remington, of course) mounting of the ribbon spools and the abandonment of the slight overstrike position of print found on the previous models. <br /><br />I did a typing test of the Victor No. 10 some time back, and the results of that were rather interesting: http://davistypewriters.blogspot.com/2011/01/victor-no-10-quick-look.htmlWill Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371377137844175320noreply@blogger.com
