Description
Before computers, for those of you who weren't there, this technology revolutionized the sending of the written word. According to one website: "Remingtons are a family line long and well-known among typewriter enthusiasts and collectors. They literally began the typewriter revolution by contracting to produce the Sholes and Gliddon; later, they gave birth to the modern portable. When Remington began producing their own line of typewriters, their machines established themselves as virtual industry standards, unrivaled in popularity until the Underwood locomotive roared onto the scene. (Ironically, Underwood itself would later bow to Remington and license the company to produce Underwood's Noiseless models at the Remington factory.) Remington bought the Noiseless typewriter company in 1924, generating a popular line of portables and desktop models."
