After Gropius

  1. I love your reasons for buying more typewriters. Our motives for doing what we do are almost always varied and endlessly interesting.

    I also love that tidbit of information about Walter Gropius.

    1. Thanks Dana. I'm sure my list isn't exhaustive but I ran out of paper and the last reason seemed a good place to stop. As for Gropius's eagle, thanks due to Herr Sommeregger, proprietor of the Swiss Typewriter Museum.

  2. I hadn't heard that about the Adler eagle. That's a very well thought out typecast. Every time I hear or read about Gropius I think of Tom Lehrer's song about Alma.

  4. There are several Adler typewriters I have seen on line that looked interesting. The Eagle is especially attractive. I like your reasoning for another addition to the collection.

  5. That's a good list of reasons to buy a new typewriter!
