Typewriter Roadshow goes To Portland


Just getting warmed up with the class.

I'm more comfortable with a hands on approach.

A Hammond I recently refurbished and a American Scientific 
Class was held in the Portland Room which is the rare books room.


I'm showing someone how to fix their Lettera 35.

Showing how to adjust the escapement trip point.

This is supposed to be the first letter written by Samuel Clemens on his new Sholes and Glidden.

Calligraphy class by Abraham, standing room only.

    I wish I could have attended!

    That is sad news about Mr. Dotson.

    That class looks wonderful - I'd so love to go to something like that....

    And such a sad story about Bill Dotson.

    For the secondary data, you need not always have a questionnarire as the data collecting tool. Try to get information from the websites of those companies, from the previous records of your company.
