Smith Corona Silent 1940's Model: Carriage Does Not Advance
I'm a typewriter newbie, but I appreciate the elegance of the machine and the sprit of this site, and I hope to have my Smith Corona back in working order soon. After reading up, I discovered that the draw band may have been out of place, and I did not my best to re-position it, but I am not sure I did it correctly. Either way, I have not fixed the problem. I took some pictures, but I am not sure how to make them visible here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for that blog, Malole! A nice one to know about, very engaging. And I too am about to have to change my first drawband (on a Skyriter), so this post is really helpful.
