I wonder how many people know what the little knob in the middle of the platen feed knob does.

Left in the out position, the platen ratchets one line at a time.
Pressed in and the platen free-wheels.Cheers,

I have a very vague recollection that the platen knob could also enable micro-adjustment of the line spacing. Which seems to be verified in US patent 4456395. But in a Google search for info, I found a typewriter with the lever on the right.
Found under "Locking and unlocking the carriage" here: Remington Portables
The hook and the correct-reading lettering indicate it isn't a mirror image.
Looks clumsy to operate, but I suppose it's possible to accustom oneself.
Also, IIRC, a halfway engagement of the lever did the CR without LF.
