When my friend came to visit from California, I had to show him my typewriters. Then I forced him to write something, which he did. I then edited it for the blog. Then he forced me to watch the World Series. He now knows the difference between an Olivetti and an Olympia, I think… but I still can’t understand baseball. I have to admit it’s a lot more interesting if you drink a few beers though.

The SF segment – note the deep indents made by the nubs prior to grinding. These nubs prevented the heads from striking the paper hard enough to make a strong impression.
