I love the fact that this and so many other wonderful machines are in Milwaukee, just 3 1/2 hours from me. A trip there this summer is definitely in order. <br />So, what's everyone doing this year for Typewriter Day? I'll be putting on a small exhibit at my public library - highlighting small portables like the SC Skyriter, and regionally produced typewriters like the Oliver, Emerson, Woodstock, and R C Allen's.<br />Just picked up a 1963 R C Allen VisOmatic B with a<br />26 1/4" platen, and a 32 1/4" carriage, - just a monster!
