[GreenKeys] Mystery machine

[Thomas Tillson]

Hi gang:
 
These pictures that show up on the e-pay place once in a while can be found on the site by the following URL:
 
http://shorpy.com
 
It has a great search engine for finding "old" pictures.
 
The picture in question can be found here:
 
http:15133//www.shorpy.com/node/
 
You can do what you want with these pictures (no commercial use).
 
There is also a comments section where knowledgeable people identify the the subject, people, locations Etc.

A zoom-in on the typewritten page gives us some insight - "Words should be spaced in five letter groups."
Also, confirmation on the machine's identity.
Great site....no connection.
I have attached a copy that I downloaded from there:

 It seems to me that machines of this type were the subject of 
a thread in this list perhaps a year ago. I think I have a patent 
showing the mechanical arrangement. The typewriter to the left 
appears to be an Underwood Model 5. There is machinery under the 
table connecting the two machines.
 Please note regarding the picture for sale a "giclee" print 
is nothing other than an ink-jet computer print gussied up with a 
fancy name. Giclee means something like "spit" in French, however 
it can also have a somewhat vulgar connotation.
