Demountable Demonstration Typewriter

For the past five years or so, I have been on the lookout for a suitable typewriter to use as a demonstration machine at presentations I give in various parts of Australia.
What I wanted was something which could be taken apart very, very quickly and put back together in equal haste, but at the same time something which would give people a very good, clear view at all the main components of a typewriter and how they fit together to make the whole thing work.
With John Lavery's guidance, I realised that an Imperial Standard fitted the bill perfectly. It offered everything I was looking for. The carriage is easily removable, as is - thanks to Arthur Bott Pateman's 1926 design - the entire keyboard and typebasket section. Also the top plate with mainspring, escapement wheel etc comes off the main frame just as easily.
Fortunately, I was about the dig around under work benches and find a spare parts Imperial Standard gathering dust and begging to be put to some useful purpose.
I gave this idea a test run this morning and managed to take it apart and put it back together in the same time - 68 seconds. (The drawband has been removed for this demonstration purpose, but wouldn't add a lot more time to the exercise if reattached, as it can be readily unclipped from the carriage and hooked to the top plate, maintaining its tension.)
I am sure that with a bit more practise I can get the exercise down to one minute flat. Removing the platen took 10 seconds, the carriage 8 seconds, the top plate (after taking out four screws) 42 seconds and the keyboard and typebasket 8 seconds.
For me it was important to use paint remover and degreaser to get rid of all previous paint work and many years of built-up grease and muck in the mechanics. I want this to be a up-close, hands-on thing for people who attend presentations, and know from experience that they are often put off from touching the parts because of the blackened, dirty look of the mechanics.  Hence the less off-putting, more enticing new paintwork. I also removed any parts (front, side and back panels etc) which were unnecessary and obscured a view of the workings.

 Platen off, 10 seconds, making a slow, deliberate start.
(There's a slight "bow" in the paper bail from me lifting it up at pace to take the platen out.)

 Carriage off, 8 seconds, warming to the task

 Top plate off after slowly, carefully removing four screws, 42 seconds

 Keyboard and typebasket slipped out,

8 seconds

 Reassembled, 68 seconds, matching the time for demounting
