A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.
This great video shows some of the manufacturing steps in building a 1935 Remington 16. The self-assembly steps occur at around the four minute mark. Enjoy and happy International Typewriter Appreciation Month!
I love this video. It's both informative (because it shows the many parts that make a typewriter work) and entertaining (those stop-motion animation techniques have always amazed me, if anything for the effort involved in creating them frame by frame).
Besides, I really like that kind of typewriters... my Remington 12 is one of my favorite monsters.
Miguel: This is one of the more enjoyable factory videos I've found. It makes me appreciate how many labor hours went into making these fine machines.
Bill: Yes, that was a different era.
Ledeaux: It is a perky, mid-winter kind of video - so optimistic! I've been saving this one since last year as I was having trouble getting Youtube videos to embed properly. They've added a handy "Share" shortcut straight to Blogger that has made it so much easier. I stumbled upon this one while looking for information on the Remington Noiseless 8.

Nice video. Before OSHA no need for safety glasses -- even when watching a cutting tool.
ReplyDeleteWhat happy music for ITAM! This was really fun as well as 'teacherly' - how did you find this video?
