March of the Adlers: 80 Years of Typewriters
This is a scan of a black and white print issued by Adler in June 1979, to mark the launch of the Adler SE 2000 word processing system and its peripheral memory unit (front). Behind it is the Adler SE 1000CD self-correcting golfball typewriter. Adler lined up its typewriters dating back to the turn of the century, saying the image represented "The evolution of word processing." Evolution, maybe, but progress? I wonder ...

Maybe more of a parade of things that will last and work for decades (or more) to the newest product that will be obsolete in 5 years and never last as an operational machine for more than a decade.
"Progress?" Indeed. An arresting visual. Thanks for sharing!
Very impressive. Thanks for sharing this.
That's a lot of "typeage". Great display!
Bill M is right, even though I am currently using one of those quickly obsolescent inventions. Neat photo.
Nice photo. But where can I find parts to my Adler?
Well, the SE2000 was indeed very progressive, a giant tech leap for TA. It is the most complicated digital and electronic driven ball head storage typewriter (storage to 8 inch floppy disks) I know. As a pro technician for TA, I was lucky to have seen it to be used in real live and also was honored to service it.
