The Remington Electric was essentially a Model 12 mounted on top of a power unit produced by North East Electric Company which used a shared "power roller" mounted crosswise below the typewriter chassis rather than the fore-aft solenoids shown in Brooks' drawings. The North East power base follows Smathers' 1912 patent US1077005.<br /><br />I'm impressed by the historical background you provide on your pages. Do you have more info on the Remington-North East Electric relationship that resulted in the creation (and then abandonment) of the Remington Electric?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jackjackrubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091545068429541480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-60018957626800709092018-01-08T04:05:29.166+11:002018-01-08T04:05:29.166+11:00I'm researching the history of the Friden Flex...I'm researching the history of the Friden Flexowriter, which points back to the "electrification" of the Remington Model 12 by North East Electric Company of Rochester, NY. <br /><br />I'd like to correspond with you further regarding these machines.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jack Rubin<br />j@ckrubin.usjackrubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091545068429541480noreply@blogger.com
