That's the cordless version if I'm not mistaken!

It might be old but it can still go 'on the webb.'

Cliff looks more like where the Webb started from

Nice photo Ed

Would love to see my daughter speed type on that. I knew a few woman over the years who could.

Tnx, Ray.

Used the "painting with light" technique to get the shot. Set the camera on the tripod, focused and set the f-stop, doused the lights, panned a flashlight beam to one side of the typewriter, released the shutter.

So, the daughter is a speed demon typist, huh? Good for her, but I'm sure Dad can run circles around her in other ways!!!

Here you go, Cliff...all wired to the modem and ready to go!!!
Receive works pretty good, but transmit is a bit hard on the fingers

Cool, is that a remote control next to it?

Must be Cliff just showed Sue as she learnt to type on one and did her first few years using one of them and she noticed no carriage return.

Ed my daughter was I should have said with her fingernails as they are today touch typing would be out with those keys.

It is there, left side, it is just directly end on so hard to see.... hard to get good photographers.

Story 'bout the remote, Cliff. I built a Multi-trigger box and then had to build an opto-coupler assembly to interface to the Nikon D3100 Focus/Shutter port. Problem with this is that Nikon had a better idea and flew in the face of convention by incorporating an unusual connector arrangement. So, in order to get the proper plug, I bought 2 Opteka OP-N3 remote switches. Whacked the PB assembly off one of them and wired up the cut off end to fit a stereo jack in the opto-coupler box. Just waiting for an IC for the assy to replace a defective one, then should be all set to trigger the camera shutter either with a photogate, or with noise. These kits are fun to build and you get something useful in the end.

CR lever on left

Good photo.

It is actually a Carriage Return Line Feed lever but that is just a bit picky.
