Antique Typewriters: My first experience with an antique typewriter took place in the late 1970s. While employed as a repairman for a typewriter company in New York City, I noticed an old, dusty, Oliver typewriter, sitting on a shelf, just waiting for me to claim it. This was certainly the strangest typewriter I had ever seen and after carefully packaging the machine and carrying it on the NYC subway system, my Oliver had found a home. I quickly discovered there wasn't much information available on the subject, not to mention finding others who were interested in these machines. A Blickensderfer soon followed and I was hooked. A collector was born! It's now twenty-five years later and the Great Typewriter Hunt continues.

The force of your fingers is what makes the ink appear on the page. That's why mechanical typewriters often produce rather erratic, uneven print quality—because it's hard to press keys with the same force all the time. When electric, semi-electric, and electronic typewriters became popular in the mid-20th century, they automated many of the things a typist previously had to do by hand.
Most electric typewriters do away with the system of levers and typehammers. In some models, the type is mounted on the surface of a rotating wheel called a golfball. Other models use a daisywheel, which looks like a small flower, with the type radiating out from the end like petals. The keys on the keyboard are effectively electrical switches that make the golfball or daisywheel rotate to the right position and then press the ribbon against the page. Because the type is hammered under electrical control, every letter hits the page with equal force—so a big advantage of electric typewriters is their much sharper, neater and more even print quality.
