Re: Typewriter Pin-Ups...

Sorry Uwe...it just popped up with an image search and the link to a web site was no longer active.

What does your keen eye catch in the photo ?

The 2nd.. photo, I believe, is with a Facit ET3 machine.

Re: Typewriter Pin-Ups...

I'm just being weird.

The fact that it's an obviously staged photo aside, and that it's really odd that an Olympia SM would be used by someone being barked at through an intercom - or is it over the phone? - the resolution of the image seems wrong for a period photograph. I can't put my finger on it, but even though it's likely an actual photo from the mid 20th century, it has a few elements that make it look like it could have been taken last year.

Uwe...I recall those telephone "amplifiers" sold at Radio Shack in the 197's or so.

IIRC...they were both a speaker and a microphone.

Re: Typewriter Pin-Ups...

Well that's interesting. The speaker is not period correct for the phone and the typewriter then?
