Insurgents who closely follow the goings-on in my physical mailbox will remember that the famous and mysterious Agent Bikethru sent me a card written with that reactionary implement, a pen. Now comes a properly typed letter that explains all:
Brilliant work, comrade! I will soon add W. Kern AG to my international list of repair shops.
This item also turned up in my mailbox recently:
Thanks, Agent X!
It's not widely known that Howard Hughes also built a 1200-foot balsawood typewriter.
My understanding is that it self-ignited through friction during a speed typing demonstration held as part of a cheer-leading camp. All escaped, although there was a bit of pom-pom singeing in the R through I section.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from Agent Bikethru. One thing I have always wanted to see in person is the Spruce Goose.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had seen those bike stands when I was in Zurich last year. I hope they have some way of carrying the typewriter.
ReplyDeleteA new insurgency has just broken out in the heart of the digital world, the Silicon Valley. Please standby for the typewritten memo.
