Keyboard layout on Underwood Finger Flite Champion?
I just purchased a 1952 Underwood Finger Flite Champion and just now realized the keyboard is a bit different. In addition to the Z and Y keys being swapped and having some of the more common German characters, it has a number of letters (C,S and A) with the inverted circumflex. Further, and more problematic, is that it appears to lack both an apostrophe key and a semi colon key. I can work with this but am curious as to what I actually bought. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Re: Keyboard layout on Underwood Finger Flite Champion?
If I understood your description correctly, it sounds like a Czech market keyboard, or possibly even Yugoslavian or Lithuanian? The lack of an apostrophe is a huge pain, but for machines that lack a semicolon I usually just type a colon and then backspace and superimpose it with a comma.
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
