When I first learned repairs I would take machines apart and lay out the pieces in order just like that Hermes ad. I still do it when I'm working with something new.<br /><br />Ken- I'll go through my scrap paper at the shop and try to find the test sheet from that No.4 and find a sample of the pointing finger. If I find it, I'll post it next week. It was cool. Thanks.<br /><br />Richard- Thanks for your generous comments. Whoever wrote the script for that Hermes ad wasn't a typewriter guy but a Madison Ave guy.Tom Furrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474840038948422845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-9879488184098729232012-10-28T18:48:43.185-07:002012-10-28T18:48:43.185-07:00Great job on the Remingtons -- they look factory f...Great job on the Remingtons -- they look factory fresh!<br /><br />I have never even heard of a typewriter that types a pointing hand. That is wonderful.<br /><br />Good ads, too. I don't find "They go thunk instead of clack" to be a great selling point for the Hermes 3000, but to each his own!<br /><br />Thanks for another very entertaining update.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-70390032075135333532012-10-28T18:39:18.279-07:002012-10-28T18:39:18.279-07:00Man, how I would love to find a typewriter with a ...Man, how I would love to find a typewriter with a pointing finger key! How neat is that? I would love to see how this looks typed on a piece of paper.L Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585495720234064210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296810989330430559.post-2355893848179921362012-10-28T18:12:59.996-07:002012-10-28T18:12:59.996-07:00Very nice typewriters.
