Description |
Black typewrite with non-QWERTY keyboard. (top row: ZXKGBVQJ) Diamond shaped plate on front of body: 8 BLINKENSDERFER STAMFORD, CONN. U.S.A. The Blickensderfer 8 was the first Blick to boast a tabulator system, although tabulators had been around for quite some time. It was a very peculiar looking tabulator, with large nickel-plated levers placed prominently on top of the machine, making it very easy to operate. With this model, the typewheel head was made of two casting instead of one. This allowed much easier access for repair and adjusting of the typewheel mechanism. |
