Introduced in the early 1920s, this model featured a unique fourbank keyboard, which provided a typing experience similar to standard desktop typewriters, and a distinctive foldup mechanism allowing the typebars to be folded down for easier transport. Made with a sturdy metal frame and highquality components, the typewriter was both durable and lightweight, weighing around 8.5 pounds, making it ideal for onthego typists such as journalists and writers.
