I'll have you know, I type 52 wpm - 26 per forefinger.
- I amaze people - they've seen typists, and they've seen hunt-and-peck 'cop typing,' but they've never seen the two combined. It's just practice, years of it: This is how I type.
By the bye, did you know that you can spell out TYPEWRITER using only the top row of keys on a QWERTY keyboard? Coincidence...?
They were shockingly loud. The smaller case meant less mass to absorb sound, so the electric motor hummed clear across the room and each key hit like a pistol shot. If you went back in time or had one here, you'd find earplugs to be genuinely useful.
That looks like an incredibly uncomfortable way to sit and type. Your arms would get all cramped up and you'd get a print of the handle of the carry-case in your bum.
I love Smith-Corona. I have a gorgeous SCM manual with pretty similar styling to the electrics here, and sometimes I lug it down to the cafe to write just for the weird looks (it also can help if I'm getting trapped in a self-editing death spiral, since it sort of forces linearity).
