Royal Portable Typewriter (2nd Model) 1930

I learned to type on a mechanical typewriter and used one for years. I moved to an electric typewriter while studying at the University of Utah and then finally to an IBM Selectric. We gave away our last Selectric while living in Mesa, Arizona. But we were still using them in our law office until the 1990s or even the early 2000s. I can't imagine going back to a manual typewriter for the simple reason that my computer word processing programs automatically corrects both my spelling and my grammar. I also save a lot of paper because I seldom print anything I write. But I understand that there is still an active business selling and supporting manual typewriters.
