I think I may even have the key. Remind me to bring it to the next type in. Promise me this though, these will be the last pictures of this evil machine on the intertubes!

I'm jealous of that machine.

@Strikethru: I don't care, that's a fine looking Hermes! Back in school, we had the option of electing for calculator or slide rule in maths exams. Needless to say, I took the analogue option, even age 16.
ReplyDeleteRob - good for you! I used mine for the Amatuer radio exams. I started collecting slipsticks a few years ago but it's harder to find opportunities to use them than it is typewriters.
