How to use the Emerson typewriter

The company's instruction manual for the Emerson must have baffled a few users back in the day. It's both unnecessarily technical and completely lacking in illustrations. I decided to make a new, illustrated user's guide for a friend, an expert in American thought, who will be receiving my Emerson as a gift.

Въстанието на пишещата машина

The latest translation of the Typewriter Insurgency Manifesto comes from Mark G. in Bulgaria. Благодаря ти, Mark!





I have two Bulgarian typewriters in my collection. This one is a 1927 Merz no. 2 from Germany.

And this Rex, also from Germany, is a name variant of the G&O (Graf & Oertel). 
Read more about it here and here.
