Also to make changing/winding the ribbon neater (notice the finger holes in the cap)<br />3. My favorite guess is that Sears wanted to be the only ribbon supplier for this machine and this cartridge would be only available through them. I've never seen one before.ProfessorCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881842661768630727.post-38891394340754899282013-02-03T08:15:52.888-08:002013-02-03T08:15:52.888-08:00I lifted one out and it came up normally buy I did...I lifted one out and it came up normally buy I didn't think to check the advance system.

The styling on these Sears Smith-Coronas is usually a little more bold and experimental than on the ones with the Smith-Corona name -- and I have never seen a ribbon spool like that either. Is it part of the typewriter, or was it sold with the ribbon? Looks so fancy. Maybe it's SCM's response to the Royal ink cartridge system ... what did they call it?Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881842661768630727.post-39510052496302663322013-02-03T05:13:27.027-08:002013-02-03T05:13:27.027-08:00Weird.

I wonder if it was an attempt to keep the majority of the ribbon from drying when the machine was not in use.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
