Good Lord, that's a monster and no mistake! I thought my standard 66 was a heavy brute; I'd hate to think what that thing weighs. I almost pity the poor seller when it comes to packing it up and whoever ends up buying it - where will they keep it?!
My local transport museum has a wide carriage 65 of the same width, although nowhere near the complexity, that would have been used for typing up bus timetables I think. Perhaps something like that?
This clearly is the godfather of the Imperial clan. I suppose it's a system where the bookkeeping part could be attached and detached to the regular built, or only slightly modified, typewriter below.

ReplyDeleteI expect it's a system for feeding in bookkeeping forms or the like, kind of like on my Taylorix.

ReplyDeleteI don't get it. I can see a platen, and a platen, and a platen.. and a... How does that even work?!
"I heard you like platens, so I put a platen on your platen so you could type while you type".
I don't get it either. This must be plateception.
