I have a Flexowriter and a manual.  Late model (streamlined design)
but cast iron shell.  Weighs a ton -- I can barely lift it.  Must be
mid 1960's.  I've never taken the time to get it working, but it
seems to be in excellent shape, and I have an auxiliary cabinet
full of relay logic and a second tape reader so it can do mail-merge
and similar functions.

The primary tape handling system on the side of the Flexowriter can
do edge-punched index cards and pages as well as paper tape.  An
interesting feature.
