Description:

HOW TO USE A TYPEWRITER:: This machine has no delete key, so be sure to type slowly and carefully until you’re used to the way a manual keyboard feels and works. When you reach the end of the line, you won't find an "enter" button to go to the next line. You’ll have to manually go to the next line by turning the “line space lever” on the right, to the right, and also pushing the carriage to the right. If you run out of paper or get stuck, ask for help from the Circulation Desk. When you finish a sheet of paper, please remove it by pulling gently from the top edge with one hand and turning one of the side “platen knobs” with the other.Place a new page in from the back, aligning the edge with the metal paper guide in back. Then turn the platen knobs gently until you see the paper appear in front. Continue turning until the paper appears above the"paper fingers:' Now you're ready to start typing at the beginning of the left margin. Turn the platen knobs until you’re at the right vertical spot on the page and begin typing p33.
