Hi All,

And hi, John. As someone who received a 1971 Sears Citation typewriter as a high school graduation gift, it's plain to see that I grew up in a pica-elite world. Even though my forsaken Citation hasn't been used in years, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the nature of vintage typewriters, or their paper model counterparts.

Attached find different images of a vintage typewriter designed by Hans Christian Madsen. The first, rather rough image comes from the Norwegian edition of the Danish publication, Illustreret Familie-Journal. Sorry, but I couldn't find the year of the typewriter's publication.

The second image shows a better copy that I received from the collection of Tom Greensfelder. Tom cleaned up his copy before he sent it to me.

The third and fourth images show the pages as I arranged and enlarged them to build the typewriter seen in the photographs. I added a few touches to the drawings myself, such as doubling the platen supports and the ruler on top of the machine. (O.K, who knows what a platen is)?

And, thanks John, for tracking down all the models you share with us.

Score and fold,

Thumb Dog

Thanks for adding another vintage typewriter to the collection.
Stuff like this makes me feel almost old: typewriters, slide rules, IBM card punch machines. mimeographs, carbon paper, correction fluid, 3x5 card files, addressographs, getting your cancelled checks back in the mail, teleprinters, PDP8s, timesharing (a computer not a house), curb feelers, car window vents, metal dashboards, school desks with ink wells, fighting for time on a Frieden, tubes (valves to you folks across the pond), politically incorrect mnemonics, being able to purchase extremely caustic cleaning agents at the super market are things I vaguely remember, but have not seen in a long time.
