Typewriters

[jfkbengals]

The last typewriter my immediate family owned was a massive Brother electric model that had a serial port and an adapter that could connect it to a PC to be a daisy wheel printer. We never used it that way, as our Epson Demon dot matrix could print graphics as well as text, but the typewriter also was one of the only models that had a built in type correct feature. Basically it had a separate ribbon that was the same as the current Bic wite-out tape, and the unit would back up one place, pick up the correction ribbon into the position that the ink ribbon had been in and let you hit the incorrect character again, thus imprinting the correction tape over top of the fresh ink. It would then go back that space again so you could type the correct character. Kind of a neat function.
