[CW] Radio Typewriters and MILL Fonts for Computers

[David J. J. Ring, Jr.]

I have two manual typewriters, one is a Olympia SM3 Deluxe with tabs, 
paper shield and paper supporting paper bail portable in brown, and the 
other is a very rare full size Royal Olympia with telegraphers type face 
with all capitals and slashed zero.
My "DREAM" typewriter is a portable Olympia with Italic Large and Small 
capitals with a slashed zero. The owner of Vibroplex in New York had one 
- he ran a typewriter repair and telegraph supply store so he sold both 
- he used the Italic Large and Small caps manual typewriter for general 
correspondence as well as copying telegram messages. At one time 
retirees from Western Union and Press Wireless had a private wire 
running from Philadelphia, PA through New York to Hartford, Connecticut 
- with a few dozen subscribers who were WU and AT&T and PreWi retirees.

When standard manual MILL typewriters became rare, I ordered for my 
ships an IBM Selectric and an ORATOR typeball which was small and large 
caps, no lower case.

Some TTF fonts you can try on your computer.
