On This Day in Typewriter History (LXXXVII)

AUGUST 15
CORONA'S CONVERSION
 
In August 1944, Fortune magazine published in its "The Working Front" section a feature article about  L.C.Smith and Corona Typewriters Incorporated converting its Syracuse factory back to typewriter-making after assisting in the war effort.
Purely in the interests of recording typewriter history, we re-publish the article in full here (albeit in a slightly more sequential page order):

Wow I really like that Peter Piening cover! Funny how we get introduced to other things tangentially. I will be looking into his other work.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting this. I've seen the cover of the magazine before, online, but hadn't read the article.
