[ARC5] [Milsurplus] SCR-299/399/499 Typewriter

[howard holden]

The full size mills were used well into the 70s possibly the 80s until military CW died. Made by Remington, Underwood, maybe others. Copied thousands of messages on a mill as a Navy CW op into 1970. Wish I had one now.

Pretty much a standard portable mechanical typewriter of the period but printed out upper case letters only  along with certain other special characters.  Similar, full size machines widely used by on ships and fixed-plant communications sites during WW2.
