Actually, even before reading its content, the Remington Rand portable typeface really spoke to me. It's gorgeously individualistic. I can well believe it is a good poetry facilitator!
great typecast. Any speculation on the differences between the Quiet-Riter, Letter-Riter and Office-Riter? I have an Office-Riter and it's a great machine but I've never gotten a close look at the other two for comparison.
I'm jealous of your pica Royal Arrow and SM3. Those are some nice typefaces. Not that my elite versions are all bad, but I'd love a pica SM3 someday. And my Royal Arrow actually has a very nice elite typeface.
Notagain - the letter-riter has no tab system. The Quiet-riter does. And the office-riter... I'm not sure. Possibly with tabs and something else! But in terms of basic mechanics and even shell, I think they're pretty much the same.
Nice overview, thank you. Amazed by the clean printing of the Bijou.
