I often wondered how much difference different manual machines make when it comes to speed and accuracy. I know I do better on USA made typewriters than on any Olympia. Underwood still being the best. I've often wondered the same as Joe asked.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-994708567958477972021-03-10T01:49:44.679+11:002021-03-10T01:49:44.679+11:00Another well-researched article, thank you.

It seems each brand, at one time or another, touted themselves as being the fastest, but I wonder if there’s some objective data available to the typewriter historian.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.com
