This rather unremarked sub-variant was built from about 1950 until 1955 when the Underwood 150 superseded it. It is very largely the same as the previous model, built 1947-1950 with segment shift, but note the most important change -- this machine has a long carriage return lever which reaches back to the area of the left platen knob. This is the first diversion from the original pre-1900 return lever setup. This machine is serial number 11-6830645 and dates to 1951.
Serial number 3942070, built 1935. The Underwood and Remington variants of the Noiseless Standard do indeed vary in some details, and it is true that many patents for alterations and improvements to the design were taken out over the years not by Remington, but by Underwood. Tilman's fine example shows all the visual characteristics common to these machines. This machine has a multiple-key decimal tabulator; my example, shown below, has a conventional tabulator setup with tab bar in the center and tab stop set / clear keys either side of it.

Later version of No. 5 Underwood Standard with ribbon selector and other changes. Still mechanically the same reliable machine. Serial number 2219132-5, built 1927.
The No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 models ran together through sometime in 1932, by serial number records, at which time the No. 6 appeared. The No. 6 was very little different, and in some sources the serial numbers do not break at this point.
As visual appearance is concerned, the machines were enclosed and thus dustproofed in the late 1930's, but remained carriage-shifted. This model was produced before and after the war, and is sometimes known as the "Master Model." The first really significant change occurred in 1947 when Underwood finally converted its standard typewriter to basket shift, in line with most other makers (and which most had done prior to the Second World War.)
At the moment, we are unable to show this model. We are also temporarily unable to display the 1947 model, which was enclosed, basket-shifted and which retained the original carriage return lever setup.
